2.0

This book was a pain to read through. The author's "hot take" is that social media and shopping addictions will be the fall of Americans. Women are overly sexualized, the main character has an Asian fetish, everyone is ageist and fat phobic. I kept reading just to see if the ending would be interesting (spoiler alert: it's not). Don't bother with this book.
