This book serves as both a time capsule for a very specific window of time - when social media was in its infancy and young people had access to it without fully appreciating its dangers - and a warning to everyone, but especially parents, that vulnerable young person coming of age + completely unfiltered access to the internet/phones = long lasting psychological damage.

It felt weirdly real and unreal at the same time, like an alternative reality. Also, I found it very readable and burned through it.

However, the protagonist refusing to relate to anyone or communicate openly got quite frustrating and repetitive.
