Enjoyable and fun, though I found this to be less satire and more truth (which is rather depressing for women in tech). A good conversation starter.
I might change my star rating eventually since I try to keep my 5-star ratings for books that resonate with me over time, but this was exactly the right book at exactly the right time. I read and enjoyed Hatching Twitter not long ago, so I was all-in for this lady-centric tech book. It was suspenseful, poignant, well-written, and fun - all things I think the book you read on your first day of summer break should be. I'm excited to hear Doree speak at the Printer's Row Litfest this weekend.

Felt like a more brightly lit Bret Easton Ellis. Unhappy reflective characters with good observations, but not much going on and no one to root for.

This book was actually kind of entertaining, but it did drag on and on. And then the "cliffhanger" ending - this book does not warrant a cliffhanger ending. Boo.
Obviously older author desperate to sound young and world-weary at the same time in a very of-the-moment book.

Very brainless beach read-type book.
Content Warnings
Minor: Sexual harassment
This isn't my usual fantasy but it's definitely a world/career that's unfamiliar to me (which is anything not education). It's a good story about the intricacies of social media and relationships.
