Don't Read the Comments
by Eric Smith
This book touched some emotional cords and brought back some memories of my net life.
Harassment of women on the net is as old as the first mailing list of newsgroup and it get worse.
I'm old enough to have been a member of various newsgroups and I remember it was not easy as the moment you started to be popular it was always the moment you started to be harassed by some troll.
It's even worse for women gamer as it is considered a male only world and you will always find the group of guys who think is great to use you as an outlet for their own frustrations.
These are the reasons I think this book should be read by kids who are online because it talks about a harsh reality that shouldn't be hidden and to help girls who are being harassed to feel empowered and react.
The story is realistic and I loved the description of the gaming world as it was well done and didn't play down or sugar coat what can happen.
Dyva and Aaron are two great characters, realistic and relatable. Same happens for the secondary characters who are all well thought and realistic.
The story flows and once you start reading you cannot put this book down as it's a gripping and enjoyable read that makes you root for the characters and cheers at the ending.
It was an excellent read, I strongly recommend it.
Many thanks to Inkyard Press and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
