Wow! That was a RIDE.

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.

I enjoy a good, tense, thriller. This wasn't exactly that. There was a lot of fluff in the middle and then all of a sudden at then end we had a thriller. I did enjoy

that Jill was still lurking in the dark

This book was interesting but slow for the first 80ish% then goes insane in the last chapter and confusingly long epilogue. The CW for this book are very serious, make sure to check them!

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).
