I love James Acaster but this was a bit too left field and odd for me. He usually draws the line between fiction and reality and satire quite well but i just couldnt see the point if this one and finsihing it got to be a chore rather than enjoyment

Acaster's previous book Per ect Sound Whatever was advertised with the argument "2016 was the best year or music ever" but went on to provide a brutally honest account of an emotional mental crisis. I foolishly assumed that this would be a similarly honest account of leaving social media with some darkly comic anecdotes sprinkled throughout. Instead, this book is a completely fictionalised obscurist yarn that is so mundane that it feels like a shaggy dog story with a punchline that never comes.
I'm sure there is an audience for this bizarre alternative history, but I'm not it. I'm bitterly disappointed not to finish it too, because I've thoroughly enjoyed Acaster's other books. In fact, I think I'm going to read Perfect Sound Whatever again.
