Listened to this in a day and thought it was an entertaining read.  I wasn’t really expecting a few things but overall it was a decent mystery.  A bit predictable but I had a good time listening to it.

However I will say there were a lot of talks about social media to the point where it was just kinda obnoxious.  While no, I’m not overly fond of a lot of social media stuff, it isn’t all some popularity contests and the way it was depicted in this book felt very superficial.
