I’m half way through and I’m struggling. Finding it all very repetitive and I have to say boring. Same arguments being presented over and over. Only persevering because it was £7.99! I am a librarian so hate paying for books!!!

Hi, just finished this book and absolutely loved it. It is not something I’d normally read but I couldn’t put it down. A but if a slow start so keep going.
Social media can be so destructive, it’s quite scary.

So pleased you loved it! Have you got anything you’d like to ask Yomi?

So thrilled you loved it! Knew it would be a great pick for our second read. Have you got anything you’d like us to ask Yomi when she’s on the podcast?

It sounds like lots of other book club members thought it started slowly then loved it! Hopefully you’ll change your mind as you go on!

Read this book last week on holiday.
Really enjoyed it and gave it straight to my sister to read after me on holiday - she was also hooked straight away.
So relevant to todays society and really made me think about how we all conduct ourselves online. Really sympathised with Ola and found myself questioning constantly how I would react in her situation.

Finished it last week whilst on holiday… I have to say I was very surprised by the ending. Or maybe not, after all we never know what is real and what is not on social platforms/behind a screen.
very easy and entertaining, perfect holiday book!

That’s what’s so interesting isn’t it - never knowing what is real - or not - online.

I’m halfway through and hooked! I’ll be back with my questions but would be interested to know how much of it she drew from her own life experiences. I find it fascinating how many parallels I, and I’m sure many women, can draw from theirs.
Thanks re: training. The audiobook definitely eased the pain at the half Mara yesterday :). Considering I only did couch to 5k in lockdown I’m happy I finished!
