Really enjoyed this book. Fast read, compelling, and realistic, flawed characters. The premise is an original idea with the commentary of political polarization, fame, power, and vitality of the internet. Excited for the sequel!

The premise of the book was interesting, but the writing style really got in the way of my enjoyment of this book.

I was suggested this book from a tik tok user sharing that this is the book they read to get out of a reading slump!

That alone was enough to encourage me to give it a go, and I could not put this down! It is an gorgeous demonstration as to how millennial/gen z are expected to be terminally online and connected. Not in a negative way, but more so the way our society has evolved to intrench social media so thoroughly in our lives.

Whilst not every person is going to connect with the experience of fame, but I think I speaks to the ways in which we measure ourselves and grow to figure out what our life is and what we want it to be.

I cannot wait to read the next book!

This book is truly an absolutely remarkable thing. Hank Greens writing is incredible and has the ability to make you think about humanity and also make you laugh out loud making you friends look at you with concerned faces. I love this book and I BEG you to read it. I feel like this book has the ability to unite us all, just like the April May did.
