I really didn’t know what to expect with this book. Was chuckling and cringing. But also highlighting passages which I rarely do. And did not expect to cry. But I ugly sobbed. 

Really specific to 2021 and I’m honestly looking forward to reading it again with 5+years for the nostalgia.

Read this if you want to break the loop. It will make you want to erase your social media presence, in the least patronising, cringey and boomer like way possible.

I loved how close I felt to the nameless protagonist and her family. 

The book really made me think about my relationship with the internet and how it affects me in real life. 

I did find the form difficult at first, however as the novel progressed it became clear as to why it was written the way it was and it is genius.

I cried and then laughed at the turn of a page. Very beautifully written and structured.

Part 1 of this book made me laugh out loud. Literally. And then Part 2 was devastating. So, a rollercoaster of a book.
