I’m glad I ignored the awful reviews.
This was a really good book. Based on something that I knew very little about.
It hit me hard in the gut.
There were a lot of complaints about the ending. I was OK with it. Sometimes that kind of ending is just what the story needs.
I think this one will be with me for a while.

the book was okay, however, it was severely overhyped by tiktok. at times the sentence structure was a bit weird and that kind of threw me, but I think that may have been because it was translated. the story was fine.. i was expecting more because tbh nothing really happened, definitely more of a subtle book. I'm glad it was a novella though because it would have been a real bore to read if it was a full length novel

Unlike some of the reviews, I really enjoyed this book. I think most people went into this book expecting for it to be a list of horrible posts that a content moderator would see on their daily basis. However, it's pretty obvious from the very first page that the book is not focused on that but on the effects of chronic exposure to violence. So, if you are only looking for the shocking content, this book may not be for you.
I find the ending pretty interesting.I think the author did a good job leading us. The ex-girlfriend wanting to film a video to show her being raped and how violent the sex had got over time, the memory of the MC wraping her hands around her ex's throat, it tighted the events nicely.
Although the ending of the book was not specially incredible, it is coherent. The MC realises that her ex-girlfriend is right. She planned to pretend to be a friend of a dead girl, to beg for forgiveness and breaked into a house just to try to get back to her ex. She was delusional and her morals were extremely twisted towards the end. So twisted that she couldn't even notice she was rapping someone.
The book could have been longer. It shed light to a very interesting and important topic. I thank the author for providing sources from her research for writing the book.

I can understand why people don't rate this book but oof I loved it. The descent into madness, as it were, and how that reflects how people fall into conspiracy/hate groups online; the open ending which left me going "WHAT?!" but makes perfect sense in the context of the story because Kayleigh doesn't ever get to know the outcome of the clips she's reviewing . All in all, a great short read and I wish there was more in the best way.

Really surprised by the low ratings this book has, I think more people wanted to be voyeurs to this occupation than read about the impacts of it. This is going to stick with me for a while.

A quick read, and not as intense as I was worried it might be. I really like how it was written, and the focus of the story. Definitely not an easy read but a very interesting one Ill be thinking of for awhile.
