So fucking powerful.
I went into this text with an open mind, mainly drawn by the cover and excerpt from the book on the inside of the sleeve as I’m very interested in social media and it’s dark realities. As soon as I started reading, I was hooked. The characters were real and the stories were raw and relatable. Even though this book is set in 2030 with online avatars and some Black Mirror-type shit, the story was authentic and reflects the harsh realities and truths of a very real society.
The ending was phenomenal and I would highly recommend to anyone of any race, religion, sex, gender, sexuality… please read this. It will free your inner self that may be obsessed with your online self.
