All the Lonely People by David Owen
4.0
Content warning: panic attacks, cyber bullying/attacks, sexual harassment online, sexism
It's been 2 weeks since I finished this book and I'm still trying to gather my thoughts. I didn't really know what to expect going into it.
The story is told from 2 points of view, Kat, who is fading away after being attacked online, and Wesley who was involved in the attack. I was worried about how this would go given that a POV character was a harasser. I was concerned that Owen would try to make the reader feel sympathy towards Wesley but I never did. He did give us background on Wesley, but it was very much that kind of lone wolf kind of guy that struggled to make friends. What I really appreciated, and this may be a spoiler, is that Kat never forgives Wesley. I thought that was a really great decision for this book. One the whole I found some of the characters annoying at times, but that just made them more human.
