Wow. This was just incredible. The haughty, self-obsessed narrator. The takedown of cancel culture and its useless, vampiric sense of justice. The utter lack of white guilt where it fucking belongs. Juniper is fascinating and impossible not to feel bad for at times, and equally impossible not to grin like the biggest, pettiest bitch when her bullshit finally catches up to her and we see her fall far but never far enough. Finishing this was a Christmas gift I gave myself.

I listened to the audiobook which I think was a good choice for this book and might’ve changed my experience compared to if I’d read it. Juniper is genuinely the worst, so oblivious to how unlikeable she is and it’s captivating to hear her inner dialogue where believes her own delusions more and more throughout the book. I was a bit disappointed by the ending- I don’t know what I was expecting, maybe just something more, but it just didn’t feel satisfying. I do wish there had been more focus on the relationship between Athena and Juniper instead of the publishing world but at the same time I can understand how digging into the social media world carried the story along. Overall a really good read.
