This was good! Were the characters absolutely over the top and ridiculous?  Yes. Definitely.  The influencers were obnoxious, our main character, Rafi, was everything wrong with true crime folks with theory after theory and absolutely nothing to back it up.  It cracked me up. Was it a bit too on the nose at times, sure, but it's YA, and I think this type of in your face satire is perfect for a younger audience.
