Thanks to Simon & Schuster Canada for the Physical ARC in exchange for a review.
I found this a real mixed bag! I liked reading about the influencer community and the horrors of working there. I thought that that part was really well done, and at the beginning of the book the way that the influencer was more subtly shown to be awful worked well. However i found that the pacing of the book was really off and it felt like 60% of the book was set up and then all the 'dark side' plot stuff happen in the end and it feels really rushed. The character resolutions felt unearned to me. I would still recommend this if you are interested in a relatively fun story of a horrible workplace.
