The story follows Kayleigh's life as a content moderator for a social media platform, reviewing dark and disturbing content and deciding what should stay online for public view and what should be removed. It's interesting to consider the rules given for when and why content is deemed 'unsuitable'. It's also interesting to see how someone in this position, seeing thousands of these flagged videos a day, could have their views on the world altered, and the toll it takes on their mental health.
I found the story very compelling, but the ending was too abrupt and left me unsatisfied. I would have been happy to read further about these characters and their stories.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC of this book, in exchange for an honest review.
