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.

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.
