I found this deeply disturbing. The premise of how information is shared, who gets the information, and who controls the information disturbs me. This coupled with the lens of social media, which I already have mixed feelings about spun this book into an uncomfortable space. I think that was the point though. I also hate seeing/ reading about people ruining their own lives sooooo..... points taken away for my own personal views and the interactions of the love interests.

This book kept me entertained throughout and left me slightly creeped out with the idea of a social media company gaining too much control over the population!
