A very unique premise that was executed well. The beauty in it was that it gave the readers enough of a glance of the world from all angles, but still keeping the story within that of the characters. It mirrored reality in a way that didn't come off as pretentious or too on the nose, which I appreciated. Also had me changing and fixing up my digital footprint lololol.
BOTM Discussion:
Q1: Kentuki
Do you think that something similar to the kentuki could ever exist in the real world? Would you like it to be?
Q2: Owner or dweller?
If the kentuki were real and you were to receive one (you can't say no!), would you prefer to be a dweller or to own one? Why?
Q3: The stories
Do you think the stories were easy to follow? Which ones did you like more? The creepy ones, the ones that gave just a glimpse of a connection, the sad ones...
Q4: Characters
Which character (or characters) did you like best?
Q5: The vibes
One thing I really enjoyed of this book was the subtle creepiness that emerged from time to time. What about you?

I was really intrigued by the various characters portrayed in this novel and found the concept fascinating. I think this book looked really well at society and how people interact, considering how much everyone is interested in how other people live.
It was incredibly graphic at points, with one scene I had to actually skim read because I found it so gross.
I can't lie, but I am incredibly glad the Kentuki's don't actually exist.
