Witty and dark humour, what isn't there to love
I'm always hesitant when it comes to books written in first person - I've been scorned to many times by a good concept who's written prose style fails to give it the care it deserves... but this is not the case here.
This book feels like the main character, Kitty, is an old friend catching up after a few years apart. The wit was unexpected but welcome, and the dark humour is something that is right up my alley.
As someone who partakes in social media, and is friends with a few influencers the struggle with having to have the responsibility of that influence is something I relate to, whether by own experience within my own following or from watching my friends with larger followings have to deal with the consequences - whether that be the influence of social media on teenagers or the creeps that think that because they are behind a screen, they can get away with anything. Within the first couple chapters, this book does well to represent not just that, but the fact that there is always more to life than that which we see in the screen. We feel like a trusted confidant, getting the inside scoop into the life Kitty leads behind the screen.
I will once again, reiterate that first person books are very much a hit or miss for me, but this book so far seems like a hit. It made me laugh and I'm excited to see what comes next. I'm excited to learn about what leads her to the situation in the prologue, and looking forward to learning about what comes next. This book seems like one to watch, especially for afab millennials and elder gen z. Anyone who has experienced the world and social media from a female perspective, who enjoys a bit of dark humour and wit, I would currently say, from what I've seen so far, should give this a go. I certainly will be.
