There was an attempt made for social commentary regarding fan culture, and people feeling like they don't fit in and comparing themselves to social media influencers. How ever this was not done well.  The writing was so distant that it was hard to really get connected to the characters. She also tried to make commentary on race and opportunity however the main characters selfishness, jealously, and bitterness ended up coming across whinny rather than thought out and poignant.  None of the characters were named just stated their relationship to the main character.  Written in short vignettes which didn't quite work well for the narrative. I thought what the author was attempting to do was a worth while endeavor however the execution was lacking.  There was no character growth which was a huge let down.
