I didn't like this as much, mostly because I thought the FMC was a self-righteous, self-absorbed asshole. I mean ... in the opening when she barged her way into their house, then left abruptly and decided that because the reporters outside recorded her going into the house anything she said would be considered truth... and so therefore she was going to make up what she wanted for her article, yeah, I loathed her.

Maybe it's a symptom of the current state of the world, but I think "journalists" who make shit up to get more attention and whip up a frenzy - something that Sera deliberately did, and was unapologetic about - are the worst kind of human trash.

Not interested in her or her story, honestly. She got better after that, when she was on their ship, but that left such a bad taste in my mouth that she remained trash in my mind. And hearing her bitch about how corrupt people in charge are made me want to throat-punch her, when she's just as bad but also a gross hypocrite about it.

Bleh.
