The book is split between two parts: the first focuses on the portal (social media, online discourse), and the second focuses on a tragedy taking place in the narrator’s life. The more I reflect on it, the more interesting I find the juxtaposition between these two parts of the story. I don’t think that the author was trying to tell us that social media is bad and we should all stay away from as much as she was highlighting the way the social media is more of a conversation than an action. The first part of the book often mention political discourse online and how that makes everyone feel about society, but then in the second part the narrator seems to focus more on actions that can be taken, whether this is what she can do it help her family, what politicians can do for people facing these tragedies, etc. **minor spoiler here**
I believe this book really forces the reader to ask themself what they are really doing right now. How are we spending our time? What are we prioritizing? I definitely recommend giving this book a try because like I said, it will continue to stick with me for a while.
