I give props to the authors for their handling of this topic. They were able to take something that (to me) seems so black and white—should we have influencer parents/families on the internet—and make it feel grey and murky. Even the mother herself, Emmy, seemed almost justified in her actions when you were reading from her POV. This made me think about the ethics and culture of influencing in a much deeper way than before.
I also must say that the ending surprised me. I won’t give any spoilers, but I thought it was a fascinating way to wrap up the story.
If you’re looking for something thought-provoking, relevant to our day, and fast-paced, this is the book for you.
