This book definitely isn't for everyone. I can see how someone who doesn't have a similar relationship with internet culture could find the frequent references grating or nonsensical. However, I found the way that Lockwood wrote about "the portal" weaving itself into everyday life relatable and realistic. The first half was fun, but it was the second half that made this book deeply special. The way the main character's relationship with the portal changed over the course of a major life event felt so real,
I don't have the exact words for why this book made such an impression on me, but I do I highly recommend it to anyone who has spent too many hours scrolling through twitter, reddit, or tiktok.
