DID NOT FINISH: 65%

I honestly disliked every story, as far as I got. I hate the way books like this rely on shock to compensate for substance.

good lord this is the second time i've read a concluding chapter/story like the one featured in this book and it is so annoying like i can't imagine what the thought process is for writing the weird self critique/defense shit in a novel

this book is a journey through the psyche of different characters who are all connected to each other. the book is infuriating and disgusting, the characters are insufferable and unhinged, but the interesting thing is once you're in you can't stop reading. the short stories made me reflect on a lot of topics, such as identity, shame, victimhood, and rejection. the writing style is witty and self-aware. i would recommend reading this if you're captivated by the premise, it's a well-executed project, i can tell a lot of research went into it. i would advise checking trigger warnings beforehand (the sexual and gory descriptions can be quite heavy to read).

If you struggle with cringe or graphic content then this book will be unreadable and for me it almost was. I vacillated between feeling like it was impressively fresh and clever and feeling like it was overly self satisfied. Unlike most readers here I enjoyed the second half of the book more than the first half.

A must read for millennials interested in relationships and sexuality in the digital age, especially relating to incel culture, male feminists, kink and how identity politics have shaped the internet.
