spoiler>There's a quote in this book about how once a lot of people with extreme views have family recipes, and lives. I think a lot of people forget that everyone is human, and I loved the empathy this book had for humanity. I also loved how human April May was.

That alone was enough to encourage me to give it a go, and I could not put this down! It is an gorgeous demonstration as to how millennial/gen z are expected to be terminally online and connected. Not in a negative way, but more so the way our society has evolved to intrench social media so thoroughly in our lives.
Whilst not every person is going to connect with the experience of fame, but I think I speaks to the ways in which we measure ourselves and grow to figure out what our life is and what we want it to be.
I cannot wait to read the next book!
