4.0

I really enjoyed this but imagine it could be horrifying and triggering for parents-to-be/new parents so tread carefully. Lots of the reviews here seem harsh and I don't think the average rating reflects this book but maybe it just worked for me in a way that it doesn't work for the masses? I enjoyed all the vile characters and feeling like everybody could turn out to be the real villain

and perhaps they all did!

. I haven't really read many thrillers for a long time so maybe that's why I enjoyed this as much as I did, but I also like the themes around social media and manipulation and whether authenticity can ever be authentic when it's being bought, sold and marketed (or maybe: is there truth under late-stage capitalism?).

I really enjoyed learning about being a mega-Instagrammer, as well as the differences between what we like in the USA vs. the UK.  The ending was super creepy but worked.
