This was a very quick read for me.  A terrifying look at social media, the pressure of looking a certain way, although it is all around us. I know how difficult it was for me in my 20s (and still is NOW) I can't imagine the young kids today dealing with all of this.  Yes, very shallow at times, but that is the reality.  Perfectionism, addiction and so much more. I thought this was very well written and the voice of the main character was not a "woe me". She was aware of what she was doing, her mistakes, he pull, and unapologetic about it.
