The most interesting part of this book to me was the cover between the juxtaposition between the really bright and feminine cover and then the black and white skull label on the spine listing it as a dystopian novel.
I get that this book is a social commentary about how bad social media is and technology and iphones and so on. It's...you know, it's not a new thing. I get it. The storyline was sort of compelling in the beginning between the future and the present but I found none of the characters engaging or had any redeeming qualities that made me like them. I ended up hating all of them and their shallow petty ways, even the character we're supposed to be rooting for, and the ending was complete nonsense after everything that happened and wasn't remotely realistic.
I think this would have worked better as a novella.
