While there is a lot of content warnings for this book, it’s a lot less graphic than what it seems to be made out to be when I saw reviews. It is primarily an insight on the effects of being desensitized/over-exposed to disturbing media online than about discussing the disturbing media.

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.

I hate to say it, I didn’t love this book. I found some parts engaging but others a bit boring. It felt like a black mirror episode that was thrown out because it lost its original plot. I would have loved for them to go deeper about the harm the company causes the employees, instead we spent too much time on a toxic relationship. It had the outline to be great… but was not. The harmful language also did not do anything for the book. It was just for shock value.

At times I felt like it veered to far from the original settup of Kaylee talking to the lawyer (?), I had almost forgot about the lawsuit by the end because it ended up mostly focusing on the relationships between the characters. And maybe as a deliberate choice but I feel Kaylee’s relationship with her work isn’t actually explored that far. 
Still very interesting, the characters aren’t good people which can be off putting but overall added to the vibe appropriately.
