I was so pleasantly surprised by this book. I started it because I needed some fluff, but this is sharp, and insightful, and it sees the women it features as real people that are true to their moment. Really good read.
Nothing against the author or the text, but it was emphatically written for a different target audience.

This sparkling new addition to the dystopian genre is an ultra-modern meditation on privacy, friendship, love, and loneliness, but at its heart it’s about the need to be seen. Set alternately in our screen-addicted present where two young women are trying to make it in New York City, and an Orwellian future where celebrities are assigned and the internet is government-run, this novel takes our obsessions with over-sharing, fame, and influencer culture to their logical and disturbing conclusions. Told with razor sharp writing, empathy, humor, and well-crafted storylines that take you in from beginning to satisfying end, this brilliant debut is a must-read for fans of sci-fi, reality TV and dystopian novels.
I couldn't get into this - and was annoyed by the characters throughout most of the novel. I'm not sure if the actual potential for this to be our future was part of the issue or just the unlikable people within. There is redemption at the end, but it's almost too late.
I received this as an ARC from Goodreads.
