I really didn't like this one much. I got it from a LFL, and I don't think that I had read the author's writing before. It very much seems like Ms. Oyler was trying to say something really ~deep~ about social media and politics and whatever. What's interesting is that the reviews by readers show that it didn't hit the mark at all. The reviews by papers and critics say she was "skewering" our world. But is it possible that they just didn't get it and thought that that made it brilliant? Like I already know that I spend too much time on social media and that a lot of social justice is performative. Telling me that doesn't mean you discovered anything new. It's just patting yourself on the back for being obvious. No thanks at all.
