This had potential but was strangely boring. I liked that it was short, but hated the ending and found the unreliability of the narration irritating. Overall a miss for me but I did think the author wrote well.

An intriguing character study focused on the ways we train ourselves to look away from the unbearable. The prose is an easy read, and the narrator's voice is conversational and casual, but I found the story slow despite the novella length, which was also too short to really provide closure. I went into the book expecting a supernatural or surprise element of some sort, and was disappointed when there wasn't really one; the twist was not surprising to me. All in all, 2.5 stars

An interesting book where I understand that what it's trying to do is show the different ways that being a content moderator, in the vein of the extreme conditions ie facebook, affects people and how lack of proper support alongside forcing a certain 'performance in the workplace' at the end of the day destroys them in all the ways it can. 
It's an interesting book to think about, especially now that I'm finished with it, but I don't think(and it's not meant to in all fairness) it's enjoyable to read at all, and I kinda wanted to get the experience over with. It does help that bit as the book isn't very long or complicated and, aside from content, is easy to read. 
Dunno. Had mixed feelings about this book but land more positive than negative.
