This was fun - a mash up of Bunny & Blink Twice.  Julie's life was such a train wreck of poor decisions I could not stop reading.  Really enjoyed seeing the subscriber count of the cast of characters as we were introduced to them.

Not bad for a debut book! I loved how utterly ridiculous it became, and although the book is clearly satire, if you’re chronically online you know it’s actually not that far from the truth at times.

Minus the whole devilish worship and all but honestly, how would i know?

 
It did drag a bit in the end, and there was a lack of suspense overall for me, but enjoyable nonetheless

This was a fun and quirky little thriller and so much fun to read. The social media jargon in this wasn't completely cringe like I've experienced in other works about the subject. The influencer plotline was a lot of fun, and Julie made such a relatable protagonist you just really want to root for her.
