This book was really good, it has a very shocking ending. I will say that I didn't particularly love the narrating style, it felt a little gimmicky. I do think the overall plot was excellent and the development of the characters was great. Made me feel queasy after I read it. Check the TWs for sure.

A very triggering read. The content they discuss moderating is somewhat disturbing. Plot contains clear sexual abuse.

Literally nothing like I was expecting? This turned into a book about a toxic relationship pretty much. Yes I get the point that the images they were seeing at work was what was making them mentally ill and toxic, but the focus was on a romantic relationship, not even really on individual mental health. The ending was awful. And also the fact this was supposed to be written as a letter to a lawyer was completely irrelevant and unnecessary. 
That’s not even mentioning the unnecessary homophobia, racism, antisemitism, and fat phobia. Slurs and conversation of these topics were played off as a joke at first, then by the end were cemented as actual beliefs several characters held. 
It has a pretty cover. Literally the only good thing I can say.

1 hour 9 minutes - I must admit I was expecting more from this book. I feel it could have dived a lot deeper into the issues it discussed, and I disagree with the general consensus that this book explores a myriad of graphically depicted triggering things - at most they were brief mentions. The most interesting part of this book by far was the relationship between the main characters. I thought it was well done to an extent - the reader doesn't really think the relationship is too far out of the ordinary because of the lens it is being viewed from, as the narrator's job has completely skewed any sense of morality to fit the black and white guidelines she is expected to assign content to, day in, day out. However, I feel the book could have done a better job at completing this, as the ending is so abrupt I had to check I wasn't missing pages.
