Was ich besonders mochte, war, dass das Buch wirklich mehrere Perspektiven beinhaltet. In einem DIS-System sind mehrere Personen, das macht es zu einer DIS, und die sind sich auch nicht immer einig. Manche haben komplett verschiedene Perspektiven, und sogar bei denen, die von mir grundverschieden sind, habe ich am Schluss ein besseres Verständnis gehabt.
Die Bonnies sind auf Social Media tätig, aber hier haben sich sowohl Personen als auch Themen gezeigt, die auf Social Media unmöglich wären. Ich habe darum vielleicht unterschätzt, was mit diesem Buch auf mich zukommt. Es war heftig. Aber auf die richtige Art. Ich hoffe, dass die Bonnies weiter Wege finden, sich mitzuteilen, besonders Wege auch abseits von Social Media. Bücher, in denen man sich nicht ums Zensieren für den Algorythmus Sorgen machen muss. Ich wünsche allen von ihnen - auch denen, mit deren Einstellungen ich nicht immer übereinstimme - viele friedliche, freie und liebevolle Momente.

It also particularly pissed me off, excuse the language, how alternative styles were weirdly stereotyped. Everytime a character did anything with a bit of subculture attached, it was sooooo alienating to the main character, who only ever gets to have "correct" emotions. As soon as someone's dying their hair, they are portrayed as if they are delinquents. I'm not kidding it happens twice.
There were some fun threads coming together at the end and some good foreshadowing that were totally lost when the whole thing was interrupted by a really fucking heavy topic being dropped in for one scene then never talked about again. I might have been willing to give this a 2* or so if that hadn't happened, but that was honestly just not the way to talk about that topic. Felt like pure shock value.
If you are going through shit like this, bullying, social anxiety, etc, I really sympathise with you. But don't go into this book expecting your feelings to be understood the way it promises.
