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.

this is a morality play about how the Internet is bad. the thesis of this is apparently

seeing disturbing content on facebook makes you into a rapist.

befuddling to say the least!

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.

A strange book, maybe not correctly categorized. I think it’s more of a psychological thriller with

lesbian romance B plot that ends up totalling A plot

😂 

At various points in reading I started to wonder if we are perhaps taking on the role of the voyeur like in-story interlopers, so eager to hear the gruesome bits of somebody’s life revealed to us (and disappointed when it’s not how we think it’s going, as many other readers here echo in their reviews). And if we are perhaps supposed to be aware of this fact.  If the writer was intentional on this point, I applaud her. Clearly it worked. On the other hand, however, the story does feel derailed by the problematic relationship (which I enjoyed; let there be more portrayals of all relationships, toxicity is not exclusive to heteronormativity and we need more affirmation on that in our media), and the premise that starts the intrigue went absolutely nowhere. Overall, a good quick read with unexplored potential.

Did you know some 14% Americans reportedly have sex in their workplace? I did not. But thanks to some stuff in this book I did a very quick and inconclusive research on Google, and now you know too 🙃

I find the topic of the book very interesting, I like how it explored issues of desensitisation and trauma. I feel it could have been longer to fully explore the topics but I like how it was done.
