While there is a lot of content warnings for this book, it’s a lot less graphic than what it seems to be made out to be when I saw reviews. It is primarily an insight on the effects of being desensitized/over-exposed to disturbing media online than about discussing the disturbing media.

At times I felt like it veered to far from the original settup of Kaylee talking to the lawyer (?), I had almost forgot about the lawsuit by the end because it ended up mostly focusing on the relationships between the characters. And maybe as a deliberate choice but I feel Kaylee’s relationship with her work isn’t actually explored that far. 
Still very interesting, the characters aren’t good people which can be off putting but overall added to the vibe appropriately.

It's a challenging book full of awful things happening on the Internet and the witness stress of those paid to review flagged posts and the hardships of that job, their coping.... Their fallout of beliefs from flat Earth to denying the Holocaust, the tiers of what most need taken down and what isn't is hard, the hopefully things they see, some described, is really hard to hear. Especially a young girl cutting her face before killing herself.. And how they take the cutting post down and find out about her suicide later because they can't stop thinking about the girl and remember her real name and investigate. Along in the story is the narrator trying to have a relationship with her girlfriend that goes through it's own hardships in parallel to the harshness of this job both women and their friends work at.


It's well written but full of so many trigger flags, most of not all of them.

This is a super uncomfortable read and then it just ends. The conflict we start with and the conflict we end with could be two different books entirely, and neither is resolved.
