    Social comment as important as the plotline
  

*by N***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 April 2023*

This is a difficult one for me to review, since posting a book review is about as close to social media as I get.  I am sure that as with Patricia Lockwood's "no one is talking about this", though perhaps to a lesser extent, this put me at a disadvantage.I appreciate that the format was appropriate to the virtual stalking of "the woman (our protagonist) was obsessed with" but I personally found it made the narrative annoyingly disjointed - I can see from other reviews that I am not alone in this; for one reviewer the storyline was completely obscured. This is a shame because it deals with some important issues.  The (nameless) non-white narrator clearly feels disadvantaged by her colour, in spite of her high level of education, her clear intelligence and the eloquence which allows her to make social comment while telling her story. Her keenness to buy into the "white" world she finds so attractive online leads her to make some bad decisions - which I don't want to reveal; to find out more, you will need to read the book yourself.  She's extremely self contradictory; while she is  obviously aware of patriarchal and racist structures, she subjects herself to them and perhaps even exploits them herself.  She knows that "the (married) man she wants to be with" (who is also having an on/off affair with "the woman she's obsessed with") regards her as a non-white trophy.  In spite of having a long-term boyfriend of her own, she is still eager for this toxic relationship - which seems to relegate her to the role an escort rather than a true girlfriend - and she in fact uses his race for her own purpose of trying to gain admittance to the white world, so the racism is working both ways. In the same way she appreciates the dangers of social media fixation, whilst admitting to her own obsession. The end of the book is equally self contradictory - and very powerful.One word of warning - if you require your characters to be likeable, you may struggle.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Original and vivid
  

*by G***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 September 2023*

Patel has the rare gift of writing incredibly precise prose that reads with the immediacy of something scribbled in the heat of the moment. She casts a gimlet eye over whiteness, influencer culture and privilege, wrapped up in a story of a toxic romance. Although there is little in the way of real narrative, the way she uses words like a scalpel marks her out as a talent to watch.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    This is a  spiky book
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 December 2023*

This is a novel of ideas rather than plot. It is the literary equivalent of sucking on a lemon because it wakes you up and gets you thinking.The structure is quite confusing and staccato, but I think think this may have  been intentional on the author's part to keep the reader on their toes.The book interegates obsession in various forms and how that manifests and proceeds in a digital age. In so doing, it also discusses disparity in wealth, race, gender and the environment.
