A darkly satirical look into the way social media affects our perception of reality and the darkness of toxic friendships, Idol is bleak and bitingly fresh, a story of two former best friends dealing with the decades-old aftermath of a sexual encounter that one reads as an awakening, the other sees as a trauma. Not for the faint of heart but well worth a read, it's a twisty gut-punch of a novel with a cathartic ending that feels less like a sigh of relief than a howling scream.
