At times felt like there was a lot going on and at other times felt like it was dragging and I was waiting for something bigger to happen. Ultimately thought the concept was important and an interesting take

I didn't really enjoy this book, as I don't typically like stressful real-life-adjacent books when regular life is stressful enough. I read this book for a book club. I found the characters a little whiny, though I did like

the twist at the end. I had a feeling the whole book that it wasn't Jackie.

This book has an interesting concept however I feel that the choices made are dangerous and put the true stories of victims at risk.  I feel like it did not know what it wanted to say or what it was.

I'm so mad at wasting my time with this book. What was the intended message? My two takeaways are don't believe everything on the internet and all men suck. 

This story could have been so much more and I'm sad at the potential I thought it had but didn't live up to.

The part about Lewis broke my heart and was the only hard hitting point of the story.

Parts kept me on the edge of my seat, other parts were predictable.

What am I credible book bloody hell, I loved every single second and although I winced, cried and at times had to stop reading just to protect my own sanity it was utterly brilliant.

She wants people to take away from it that we need more grace and critical thinking as we’re in a fake news crisis fuelled by algorithms and deepfakes and you can’t hold the internet to account but the platforms we are using to bring justice are damaging and we live in fear of being cancelled so we need to pause and have the space to say we don’t know about something and allow ourselves to change our minds and opinions 

The Entire book was brilliant and cut throat and I loved every second
