I loved Blandine so much in this book - she's not romanticised or an object of pity but just so much herself; I love the way that Jack sees how much she doesn't belong in Vacca Vale and yet Vacca Vale belongs in her. I felt like the book captured online life in a way that's actually funny and accurate and hard to pull off. It takes a lot of risks and not everything lands but it was so much more interesting and emotional and thought provoking than a less risky book. The awful grooming teacher and his self deception was so well done. Blandine would also do numbers on tumblr.
