an incredibly impactful book—i never want to read it again.
feels extremely cautionary and timely with the way social media has made us easily consumable to one another, but obviously exaggerated to a high degree. i read this book over a 4 hour chunk of time iirc, and i don’t think i’d recommend doing that lol.
this book will make you feel gross, but sometimes, i think we need that shock to the system to remind us of our humanity tbh!
