challenging informative slow-paced

3.0

so this book was really informative about algorithms and how people (clients) aren’t the only ones affecting what is protrayed. i liked how she delved into different topics but when she was trying to explain certain topics they kind of went through one ear out the other. idk it’s a interesting subject (with some topics talked about that were more interesting than others)  but i was bored for half the time

wtf why did pip resonate with me so much in this book. i mean i im not as morally gray as her but the way she is self destructive and cares about other people then herself um reading this it felt like this was calling from inside the house.
love the way the plot went mostly idk how to feel about the ending but overall it was entertaining and somewhat insightful nonetheless
