fast-paced
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Main character is a shitty content creator who takes advantage of a major global event to get popular at the expense of her relationships, and is, therefore, very unlikeable for the most part. She did have some character growth in the last quarter or so, which kinda saves the story. I mostly listened to the audiobook, voice actress did a great job, but that only made the main character more unlikeable, I think. Also, not to sound like a literary critic, but not a big fan of the writing style? Again, better in the last quarter, or maybe half? 
If I read the sequel, it'll be only for the sci-fi part, which isn't as sci-fi-y as I expected, and the goddamn
"knock"
