I quite enjoyed reading this book, despite finding its characters insufferable. The story gives a look into influencer culture and why social media looks (and feels) so authentic at times while - at the same time - creating a toxic dependency. The book is a bit like Big Little Lies.
Bonus: it's set in the UK. So you may find yourself looking up terms mid-read. I discovered patients given "squash" in an emergency room are, in fact, not being handed a veggie to munch on, haha.
