shows how dangerous social media can be
when I first started I wasn't sure on the way it was written. it was an unusual way of writing, through multiple media outlets but once I had listened to half hour I was hooked and I just wanted to know what happened.
the ending was unexpected and I enjoyed listening to it. I invested my time into all the characters and i liked each chapter was read by a specific person so it was easier to understand which character it was about

Social media is deadly
Not a bad story but if you are a fan of social media (and I am not) then you are going to hate it. Why on earth do some stupid people live the trivia of their lives in a public arena and only a fool wants to be a celebrity. No one wins in this novel and it is far too long for sustained interest - but I made it through the first half and skipped closer to the end. No real surprises and not an easy listen. Just left me feeling sorry for those who will have to face a future without real friends and a host of enemies waiting in the wings of the internet. Beware!!!!
