Absolutely incredible!!! I listened to the audiobook and absolutely LOVED the narration. The narrator did an incredible job voicing the different characters and making it engaging, easy to follow, and empathetic. Not only is the plot really interesting, but the underlying themes and incredibly well woven into the story. The pacing was perfect, pulling you in at the beginning and only getting better throughout the book. I absolutely LOVED this book, definitely my favorite from Cosby so far!!

Such a fun audiobook with all the sound effects and multiple narrators!! Easy to get immersed in and such a quick listen. Because it's so short the characters are pretty surface level, but the plot was fun. This is a great listen!!

Absolutely incredible thriller!! I was so hooked from the beginning and absolutely loved the pacing. The characters were built out and were easy to connect with, I totally understood what they were going through and felt all their emotions! This secretive/female rage/revenge trope is such a fun one and this plot is written in a way that felt new and fresh! I highly recommend this thriller!

This was a great suspenseful thriller with a lot of depth behind the story. The main character was well written and even though he was flawed, it was easy to stand behind him and understand his choices. There were a TON of characters and that made it a bit difficult to follow along with, I was definitely confused multiple times by who we were talking about. Overall this was a good book and I'd recommend!

You know a book about Facebook is going to be good when Facebook tries to ban it!! And after reading this, I can absolutely understand why. This book is a SCATHING tale of inappropriate, power-hungry, careless leaders. It's fascinating to hear these behind the scenes stories and see how the company has changed since its beginning as "The Facebook".

I absolutely loved this because it was such a good combo of some of my favorite elements! The technology element was super engaging and I really felt connected to the characters. The twists were a bit predictable, but that honestly didn't bother me! This was almost perfect, but it was a little too long and the ending was a bit confusing. I really enjoyed this one and would definitely recommend it!

Such an incredible book, especially as an audiobook!! It's so well written and researched, and laid out in a way that makes sense and flows so well! Listening to the author giggle and tell her own stories was SO much fun and she also has fantastic advice, I very highly recommend this book!!

...what on earth was this book??? There was absolutely no plot and it just...ended?? The characters were all wildly annoying. The beginning was pretty funny, but it became over the top after about 40%.

Such an incredible thriller!! I love the podcast trope and this book integrated it very casually and seamlessly. The characters are all very suspicious and you never know who to trust! It took me a bit to get into the story, but once I did I didn't want to put the book down!

I kept rolling my eyes at the main character and hoping he would make better decisions, which means that the characters were written so well that I felt like I had a real connection to them!! The story itself starts off intense and doesn't let up, and the shocking reveals kept me hooked throughout the book. I really liked this book and would highly recommend it!
