I raced through this book and really enjoyed the start but the epilogue ruined it for me.

This book was so jam-packed with so many topics and I loved every second of it.

-This book was an emotional rollercoaster. The spiral of Eartha had me second guessing the whole book. I am still thinking, what did I just read? But in a starstruck way.

-The writing style fits the book perfectly. The fragments of Eartha’s point of view, emails, social media posts, text messages, and a birds-eye director's point of view. As the book progressed, the style fit even more. I felt like I was falling down a rabbit hole along with Eartha.

-The reflections and commentary on so many topics were insightful. It put a lot of things into perspective, especially regarding the use of social media.

-I read this book in one sitting, I could not put it down. I was seriously invested in Eartha’s journey.

Overall, I loved this book! It was amazing.

The ending wasn’t my favourite but the rest of the book was good, easy to read and I enjoyed the storyline

Overview: I actually really enjoyed this one, especially at the start. It was funny and light-hearted and easy to read. I did find the writing style a bit immature and the director's cut scenes baffled me...why were they even there? The Wonderland social media world was extremely relatable in so many ways. And the lengths people go to sometimes is scarily accurate. I felt so sorry for Eartha most of the time, but then other times I wanted her to give herself a slap and grow up.

Good Points: It was easy to read. I think I read it in a few days as it really got sucked up into the plot and wanted to know what happened next with Eartha and her exploits. It was very funny and cringey at times too.

Not so Good Points: What the hell happened at the end? Where did that come from? I'll admit it left me so confused. Even now I'm not sure I get it...
