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.

This is very much a book for people who enjoy morally grey characters. If your main character has to be a good guy for you to enjoy it, give it a pass.
I also really loved seeing the complex workings of what running an Instagram account for a living is actually like. It seemed very realistic to me and I found it super interesting.
It had a fantastic ending but the last couple pages watered it down a bit in my opinion. I also thought that one particular scene went on excessively long.
Overall, a fantastic book and I can't wait to pick up the next one!

I give props to the authors for their handling of this topic. They were able to take something that (to me) seems so black and white—should we have influencer parents/families on the internet—and make it feel grey and murky. Even the mother herself, Emmy, seemed almost justified in her actions when you were reading from her POV. This made me think about the ethics and culture of influencing in a much deeper way than before.
I also must say that the ending surprised me. I won’t give any spoilers, but I thought it was a fascinating way to wrap up the story.
If you’re looking for something thought-provoking, relevant to our day, and fast-paced, this is the book for you.
