There's a lot to unpack in here; the raw style of writing and toxicity are so oozing that it's oddly all-consuming to read. It's a different kind of self-destructive concept when the main character itself is hyper-aware of all these things. It left nowhere for finality, which is not satisfying; it just ended however it wanted at the pinnacle of making the worst decision as time and emotional well-being have been invested for so long to stop. It's a short-sighted way of ruining yourself.

This book explores an unequal relationship while commenting on modern society obsessed with social media and how we present ourselves. Some of the writing feels obvious or forced while the narrative can get a bit confusing/tangled, but the topics and the stories main plot is really interesting and prompts self reflection of how we feel when using social media.
