4.0

I loved this. Admittedly, I'm biased (I have aspirations to be an influencer) but it was one of those books where I kept turning the pages, desperate to find out what happens next.
A couple of criticisms:
Firstly, the tagline on the cover ("She doesn't want your life, she wants to destroy it") is misleading. It makes it seem like this will be a thriller, but it's actually about the toxicity of social media.
Secondly, I was all set to give this 4.5 starts but I didn't think Lo's story had a very satisfactory ending. I assume she gives up being an influencer, but that was her family's only source of income and I don't think that's resolved
