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.

An intriguing character study focused on the ways we train ourselves to look away from the unbearable. The prose is an easy read, and the narrator's voice is conversational and casual, but I found the story slow despite the novella length, which was also too short to really provide closure. I went into the book expecting a supernatural or surprise element of some sort, and was disappointed when there wasn't really one; the twist was not surprising to me. All in all, 2.5 stars

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.

An interesting look at content moderators who review the worst things people put onto the internet, and how becoming desensitised to such content might affect their own sense of morality. The concept was super intriguing but the execution felt very rushed. There were a lot of different topics and themes covered that could have had more time spent on them, and the open ending felt anticlimactic and unfinished, like the author just didn’t know how to end the book.
