this didn’t hook me or keep me engaged as much as i wanted/expected it to :/ i thought the MC was really interesting though, even if some of the plot was difficult to believe and follow

Really enjoyed this book! It was super fast paced and engaging. The story uses flashbacks which actually helped expand the story rather than just fill space which is how they can feel sometimes. It's not my usual genre so unsure if it's a common trope but loved how the characters communicated through social media posts without ever actually communicating directly with each other too.
