I listened to this with my friend while we were taking a short road trip and it was the perfect choice for that purpose. The concept was interesting and rotating between five different POVs meant there was never a dull moment. By the end, almost every chapter ended on a cliffhanger or reveal and I could not put it down until I was done. Having different narrators really enhanced the audiobook experience for me too, though the audio mixing wasn't perfect. I had to keep changing the volume especially with Nick's narrator.
I loved how different each of the POVs was and how they were used to show the various ways this app could impact people's lives. My enjoyment of each changed as the story went on because they all had their moment in the spotlight. I didn't like Mandy at first because the secondhand embarrassment was real, but by the end I just felt so bad for her. A Christopher's POV had me at the edge of my seat the whole time. Justice for Nick btw. Highly recommend picking this up if you want something that'll grip your attention.
