I slogged through this book for over a month. I mostly liked Angelo's writing style, but felt divorced from the characters and found the plot a bit weak. I don't know, in the end there was just so little I cared about, and the ending just hammered home that feeling.
This could be because I'm almost completely divorced from influencer culture; obsession with celebrities and not-quite-celebrities just weirds me out. I didn't find it weak as a work of speculative fiction, just not that great; there are some things I find credible and a bit terrifying to think about possibly happening. Other things, I found less believable. As a cautionary tale I found it unsubtle, which isn't my preference but is necessary for some people. Followers was just okay.
