We Had to Remove This Post by Hanna Bervoets
4.0
I was a bit shocked to see that this book was rated so low on both Storygraph and Goodreads — and then I saw all the top comments mentioned getting the recommendation off TikTok and everything slid into place. I'm not going to use this review as a place to deride booktok, but I will say I believe these people came into the novella with a fundamental misunderstanding as to what the book is actually about. This book isn't meant to be chock-full of shock-value or gore. It's not a horror story. It's an examination of what environments like Hexa can do to the human mind, and I firmly believe it accomplished that.
Moving on: I thought this book was wonderful. I enjoyed the writing style, so huge kudos to both the author and the translator. The writing is fun and flowy and the story meanders in all the right ways, presenting a slippery slope that you're very cognizant of as you read. You can read this book in an hour and I really recommend you do!
