The Bright Side of Going Dark
by Kelly Harms
4⭐
Mia is an influencer on Pictey. She has about 500k followers and basically gets paid to post. She has so many sponsors that she was able to get her wedding paid for. That is until her fiance decides that he doesn't want to get married.... The day before they were supposed to walk down the aisle. Mia panics, how is she going to pay these sponsors back, how will she explain it to her followers. So she lies, not just to her followers, but to herself as well. Meanwhile, there is Paige. Paige works at Pictey. She is one of many who monitor flagged posts and decides if the post or comment need to be deleted. She sees the worst of the worst, all day every day. One day at the end of her shift a comment on one of Mia's posts comes thru, but since she is done for the day, she logs off because that is what she is required to do. It is the next day when Paige comes to work that she finds out that the commenter was her sister Jessica and she has tried to commit suicide. From there the story evolves and the reader is left thinking about their own social media presence, their own phone addiction. Kelly Harms has a way to take a serious topic and make you laugh, make you cry, and just make you think! Take a chance and read this book! You won't be disappointed!! ⭐
