I don't think I totally understood this book, I read this in basically one sitting and at 200 pages it's definitely worth a go.
I really enjoyed and related to part one which is about the all consuming nature and the addiction of social media and the never ending doom scroll, I found this part really gripping and although it was bloody weird, it's definitely written by someone who grew up online.
Part 2 was much harder to grasp and I'm not sure I really got it! Her Sister's child is born with a illness that means she will not be with them for long and how this bug news changes our protagonist for the better/worse how she can't seem to go back to the doom scroll.
Maybe I should just stop trying to read booker prize winners, someone smarter than me would probably have much better things to say!
