the thing about the list is that it is not a serious book, and i could tell this from the moment they revealed the cover which pissed me off from the very beginning. and, i don’t think the unseriousness is for lack of trying, necessarily. but it’s definitely just not serious.

What a roller coaster of a read this was! Yomi is definitely clever in the way she asks questions and gets you to think about cancel culture, SJWs, and how the internet handles problematic behavior. So many aspects to consider. Such relatable people with relatable feelings. Although the characters’ decisions were frustrating at times, I enjoyed reading this. Great paving as well - I finished this in 3 reading sessions.

Should have been 100 pages shorter. It tried to explore the complexities of anonymous accusations but ended up feeling quite victim-blaming and both-sides-ey. Left me dissatisfied.

This book was really good. It was so thought-provoking and had me asking myself so many questions. It really makes the reader think about questioning what we see and read on social media and the conclusions we jump to. It really gave me a lot to think about.

Ola and Michael were both really compelling main characters to follow. Neither were perfect and that was what made them so interesting. We see the story from both of their perspectives, how they both handle the situation and the mistakes they make along the way. It was such a page-turning plot, I didn’t want to put it down.
