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).

4.0

I really enjoyed this but imagine it could be horrifying and triggering for parents-to-be/new parents so tread carefully. Lots of the reviews here seem harsh and I don't think the average rating reflects this book but maybe it just worked for me in a way that it doesn't work for the masses? I enjoyed all the vile characters and feeling like everybody could turn out to be the real villain

and perhaps they all did!

. I haven't really read many thrillers for a long time so maybe that's why I enjoyed this as much as I did, but I also like the themes around social media and manipulation and whether authenticity can ever be authentic when it's being bought, sold and marketed (or maybe: is there truth under late-stage capitalism?).

I really enjoyed learning about being a mega-Instagrammer, as well as the differences between what we like in the USA vs. the UK.  The ending was super creepy but worked.
