Another great book from this author! This is such a nostalgic read for anyone who grew up with the Internet and social media as a vehicle for gossip, social interaction and experimentation etc. 

I enjoyed watching the character grow and experience the good and bad of life (there's hardly a topic untouched in this book). I did feel the end of the book a bit flat and unresolved, but that is bound to happen in a book like this that deals with a certain amount of time in a life; there's clearly a before and after with this book in the 'middle'. I also didn't think that the magical realism element added much to the story, though I can appreciate it as a metaphor.

Thanks: Read from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
