This book is more than "three acts”, I've lost count of the number of "WHAT???" I've uttered along the way. I have almost no expectations for this book, I picked it up because I'd heard it was good and I was looking for a detective slash crime mystery book, but I got so much more. Wow. Wow, just wow. WOW. I'm not sure how to review this book properly right now; I just finished it five minutes ago and all I can say is READ IT. NOW.

“Happy families are all alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in their own way.”

“You talk about people in the internet as a way of avoiding reality. People are never willing to admit the selfishness and desire hidden with our human nature. They always find something to use as a scapegoat.”

"The problem isn’t the internet, it’s us."

Salah satu buku thriller terbaik aku baca di 2023 ini. Berasa baca buku non-fiction dimana penjelasan dunia IT also the society dari baik & buruk terjawab sudah 5w+1h dengan detail di dalam buku ini. Every dialogues on this book have a meaning and purpose.

Awalnya mikir kasusnya simple banget karena aku baca ada beberapa kisah seperti ini. TAPI! yang bikin aku lebih speechless tuh the whole plot terbungkus rapih secara matang, nggak ada hole sedikit pun! like wow woahhh!!

dan TENTU saja character develop det. N! Kayaknya semua reader buku ini pasti setuju penyelesaian det.N amazing habis. Kalau ada series buku det. N aku rela ngikutin

Buku ini menarik banget, temanya tentang pelecehan seksual dan cyber bullying juga. Banyak banget kalimat-kalimat dalam buku ini yg sangat relate dengan kehidupan masa kini. Se-relate itu.
Alur ceritanya lambat, rinci, tapi nggak ngebosenin buat dibaca.
Aku kira buku ini thriller, tapi ternyata enggak. Mungkin lebih ke mystery ya?
