this was the first time I've ever listened to an audiobook so I'm still assessing if this was to the story's determent or betterment (leaning more towards the latter than former) but it's a relevatively 'safe' storyline; in the sense that I could easily foresee the ending quite early on. Nevertheless, the book is carried by important discussions around 'cancel culture', social media, sexism, romantic and platonic relationships etc — most of which was not that profound to me, but hopefully, spurred some readers to contemplate more about these topical issues.
