The book had a really interesting concept, combining modern influencer culture and the classic story Lord of The Flies. Though, it fell flat for me. The main character Rafi was unlikeable and infuriating (but not in a good way), and the constant comments about how ugly she felt compared to other people were overdone to the point where they didn’t hold any meaning. Additionally, the rest of the characters felt very bland and one dimensional. Although they were purposefully created to be annoying, they came across as just plain stupid and whiny. I preferred LOTF to this book.
