 Dear R.F.Kuang,having read only this book from you,i've started reading it without any particular expectation.Never knew that i would enjoy a satiric dark comedy this much.I hated all your characters so i guess it worked.The main character trying to justify her actions,even though we know that stealing is shameful,she is trying to convince herself and all of us that it's her work now.Talk about delulu.It has a thriller vibe,especially at the end.I loved the twitter drama ngl because i never engage nor i watch it in real life but i've always heard that twitter is famous and one of the worsts platforms for that reason.Loved your social commentary especially about racism and reverse discrimination.

I hope you read this review given that you spend time in goodreads just like me!
