Self Care

This might be an example of buying a book mostly because of the cover and thinking the content was intriguing but not captivating.

I could tell this was a satire of a female founded and run social media app that was meant to provide self care engagement but instead was selling women very expensive product.

The two main characters are intensely unlikable and not all that interesting. The character who is the most intriguing maybe gets 2-3 chapters and is pushed aside for the sake of the two white women main characters.

I don't know if the author was trying to show something by doing that but it was evident and unsettling.

The last 1/3 redeemed some for me. There's the larger question of women believing women and victim hood and using victim hood to sell product or subscriptions. The ending kind of comes out of nowhere though I did enjoy the last chapter.

Kind of disappointed in this book honestly. Premise was promising but execution wasn't all there.
