If I had a pound for every time I trusted booktok's recommendations for horror and it massively disappointed me, I'd be a rich girl. 

Bervoets tries to be critical about the state of the internet, yet it often falls flat. The premise is interesting yet her writing comes across more edgelord than masterful.

Interesting topic but it fel  unfinished. I actually got to the last page and was confused where the rest of the book was? I understand its a novella, and short books are great, but I feel that it ends abruptly and prematurely, seemingly without intention. Other than that, I found the character to voice to be strong and the plot to develop well. These two aspects benefited the

reveal of sexual coercion

quite well, while majntaing the blurry uncertainty of the setting & storyline. I would have loved to delve further into how the main character - either growth or devolution.
