A good premise, but some of the developments seemed to be more for shock than plot. I couldn't stand any of the characters except Dan, which I think was the authors point.

I would have given this book a higher rating if not for the ending.

Dan whining about Emmy's job during the whole book (while being financially useless himself) only to have a complete 180 after he's able to take over the account and capitalize on it himself. What a scrub.

What was the point of this book? Honestly,  what was the point of that ending? Because if this was supposed to be a critique on social media and the dangers of mommy bloggers why the hell would the author attempt to make us sympathize after everything we witnessed? Is that a commentary on how bad guys win? If so even that failed spectacularly.

I’m so mad that I wasted my time but even more mad that this has the bones of a great story but absolutely fumbled everything else

This satirises the influencer life, where every moment of your life is a piece of content that is marketable and for sale. Every person we meet who is part of the influencer world is presented as fake at best, and morally corrupt at worst. Emmy, meant to represent an inclusive and empowering vision for motherhood, is secretly a privately educated career woman whose every story is borrowed and whose words calculated to provide maximum engagement. She betrays her childhood friend in order to land a new gig. Her assistant Winter steals her influencer gifts and then later sells her photos online. Dan for a long part of the book is presented as a palette cleanser, who wants to give his family a real and authentic life rather than the Instagram version. But when the unthinkable happens, he quickly becomes just as bad as Emmy - selling in his own morality/ desire for privacy in exchange for a second shot at fame and renewed success as a writer. </Spoiler>
