The previous book was a tense horror. When I finished this book, I was filled with a even greater dread than before. A stark reminder that despite marketing promotion and social post, that social media is a business. A real world tale that recants the classic saying that business only changing if something jeopardizes their bottom line. The satire characterizations that Media showcases the ones running 21^st century technology, the ones I always assumed were over-done and “there’s no one they are like that”, are accurate. The writing of the memoirs’ stories was encaptivating like the tea about a messy relationship.  While this was all something I was aware of, Sarah Wynn-Williams has me asking for more. The memoirs were written in a way that is, by the medium of a memoir, bias that while puts her as well-meaning though she also takes efforts to mention how futile and aware she was wrong at points. I found the book encaptivating and while a bit demoralizing on society relationship with social media, hard to put down.
