agworek's review against another edition

4.0

While I was reading this I kept thinking it cute and would be great for anyone (like myself) who is wrapped up in the reality TV world, specifically Love Island. I did wish that I had any idea what was going on "outside". They talk about war but don't give any real indicator of what is happening. At times this annoyed me but I suppose it contributes to the whole "removed from reality" theme.

Having now finished this I can't stop thinking about what it says about our obsession with a false reality and concern over how people see us, as well as consumerism in general. So maybe this book will stick with me more than I originally thought.

I loved the first half but was so disappointed by the second half. Lily’s character was so confusing by the end. I didn’t understand many of her motivations or choices.
