This was okay. Definitely felt YA and a lot of the writing made me cringe. I liked the inclusion of the interviews and articles, but some of them felt unnecessary (like the social media posts). I clocked the troll’s identity pretty much right away, but was surprised by the ending. I noticed the irony of the crime show interview discussing narcissists and psychopaths in terms of Nico when in reality it was totally Jill acting like that. I appreciated that she kinda wound up being the villain, but I would have liked to see more detail on her descent into that character rather than the one dream and have had some more closure after the case was dismissed. The ending felt rushed. Overall this was fine, I think it could have been a good deal shorter as some of the content was repetitive. But I liked the premise.
