I loved the structure and the exploration of a number of topics including -- whiteness and proximity to whiteness, class, wealth, capitalism et al. I think it did a very good job of setting up the main character as someone who has very little power in relation to the other characters. It also explores influencer culture and fame. Also, love and obsession.

odd. just very odd. not my type of book but it was good. it was like looking into the mind of someone you don't like very much. not the most enjoyable experience but still interesting. quite gross too. wouldn't read again but glad I've read it once.

insightful but repetitive.
classism and race discussion were the highlights for me. 
big TWs for infidelity & domestic abuse (physical, emotional, verbal) from the abuser's POV.
while reading about the fucked up relationships the narrator has, i recognized bpd patterns/ tendencies.
overall, i thought i would enjoy it more than i have. too often it felt like a chore to read through.

Unfortunately, the title may have jinxed this one… This tried far too hard to be a profound social commentary on modern feminism and the era of internet-stalking and misplaced jealousy. The simple, no punctuation writing didn’t flow or particularly capture your attention, nor did the main character really have any redeeming qualities. It read mostly as a whiny 21st century woman intent on stealing someone else’s life only because her own isn’t as social media worthy. Which is okay!!! We’ve all done it!!! But it doesn’t need to be turned into a book!! Honestly mad at how unlikeable this was :/
