Timely, somewhat relatable, and worth the short time it took to read, but I found the underlying message about social media being useless or even frivolous in the face of real life tragedy to be a bit too simplistic. I did however appreciate the exploration of Proteus Syndrome, though due perhaps to the fragmented style of the book I was never able to engage emotionally in a way that the subject seemed to call for. Lots of food for thought here, though the storytelling didn't quite work for me.
