⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you NetGalley and DoubleDay publication for the advanced digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest reviews.

The book is a contemporary look at cancel culture and a peek at a fringe ‘me too’ moment.

I don’t really read contemporary fiction, as much of it seems to want to evoke emotions and I am allergic to them.

Just because I don’t enjoy them, doesn’t mean they are poorly written, nor am I suggesting anyone else shouldn’t read them.

This book was entertaining in the first half and the second half I felt like I was just waiting for the resolution to happen. The ending felt very rushed.
