This is probably the strangest novel I have ever read, especially in terms of writing. I thought the tweet-like stream of short paragraphs would be odd to read, and it was, but it somehow made the book quite engaging and refreshing. The plot was fine, I vastly preferred part one as part two failed to hit the emotions that it tried to--though I blame that on the writing style as it just doesn't work when trying to be poignant. I did enjoy seeing the main character experience this online attention because it made for interesting commentary on human interaction and connection in non-online spaces. I'm also not really the target for this book as I am not Very Online, which this book very much is. Not one I'd reread but fun nonetheless.
