This story follows two friends, Floss and Orla, in two alternating timelines. The first timeline starts on 2015, in which Orla helps Floss become Instagram famous. The second timeline takes place 35 years later in an exclusive village where the residents are recorded and streamed for entertainment. Sort of a futuristic Truman show but with government involvement.
I was intrigued by the premise, the novel has elements of scifi and explores social media, privacy rights, connectivity, and female friendships. Although it started strong for me, it felt a bit long in some sections.
Still, I liked it and think the story feels relevant and relatable to issues we face today. Overall, I recommend it to readers of contemporary and speculative fiction.
