Never read a book so online. The Tumblr centric plot really through me but it felt really authentic. Like Tumblr girlies really are unstable so it was necessary for the characters. The mass shooter fan fic was truly insane tho. Really enjoyed how many dimensions were explored around the interviews, podcasts and the narrator, each piece a new bit of salt in the wound of the grieving.

Not my usual kind of read and certainly not an easy one - because of the subject matter but also because of the sheer length and depth of it. So many characters and angles to keep track of. 

A real biting look at the true crime industry though, it definitely made its point and packs a punch.
