O thriller em si, não curti tanto, tinha potencial mas não me pegou tanto, acho que não foi tão bem trabalhado quanto almejou ser em algumas formas dos desenrolar dos fatos.
Porém as discussões sobre redes sociais, os impactos que os influenciadores podem exercer nas vidas dos seguidores, a exposição, o que é verdade e o que acaba sendo o trabalho; isso achei bem colocado, a um ponto de questionar sobre o que consumimos meio automaticamente, como refletem em nós e o que iremos expor. A construção dos personagens achei um tanto quanto confusa, me pareceu querer abordar vários tópicos e características que algumas vezes se divergiam em outras atitudes dos mesmos, fiquei com a impressão que queria abraçar muitas coisas e nao tinha necessidade de tanto.
Em resumo, não foi um livro incrível pra mim, mas também não foi horrível. Tem vários gatilhos que deixarei listados no Storygraph para quem tiver sensibilidade (e que podem ser spoilers).

It’s taken me days to figure out WHAT I think about this book, and what I want to say to outsiders going in. Here it is: This book builds up great suspense while taking you on a journey with our momfluencer. Don’t let the fluffy-ness of the first 3/4 lead you to believe this is not a thriller - don’t worry, about 60% through, things will flip, and then the story picks up SIGNIFICANTLY. So much so, I’ll warn you that if you wouldn’t read Verity, don’t read this. It dabbles in horror. But a solid 4 stars.
