The Subtweet by Vivek Shraya

storytold's review against another edition

Analysis of the development of a twitter feud, which is probably well done for folks interested in reading about the development of a twitter feud, which apparently I am not! Very fast read but not how I want to spend my reading time just now.

Wow this book hit in ways I didn't expect. The jealousy of your peers, the struggle of being a woc in the entertainment industry, the bullshit of never being good enough and one scandle away from it all falling apart and all dominated by white supremecy. 
One small critique is that Rukmini never sent Neela her opinion on Neela's new album and we know that her texts were going through unlike Kasi's so I do feel Neela did have the right to be upset by that which never really was addressed. But again Neela and Rukmini not reconciling makes sense as that's life.

this missed the mark for me … maybe it just wasn’t my thing?? i can’t figure it out but it’s a shame bc it’s so refreshing to read a book about south Asian women!!!
