Fashion columnist Zoe Zeng feels trapped in her New York company under her narrow-minded boss. So when an opportunity to work in an app startup based in Silicon Valley arises, Zoe jumps ship and moves across the country. But nothing is ever what it seems, especially in tech.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story examining the intersections of fashion & tech, and the ethics behind social media & machine learning. As someone who's worked in startups & lives in the Bay Area, I also deeply resonate with many plots. There's more telling than showing at times, but VV is an entertaining read with a fascinating premise overall.
