Fun but horribly preachy and ends with a disclaimer that seemed to be there only to make it less so.

This book is deeply controversial. Everybody is talking about how controversial it is. I feel like I can't go ten steps without somebody asking me if I've read the new controversial novel by controversial author Jason "Controversial" Pargin. And I get to say, yes, I have read it this controversial novel, and somehow, it was even MORE controversial than you thought! For me, the most controversial part was the ending, as well as the beginning, and additionally the middle.
I highly recommend it if you want to read something controversial. And if you DON'T want to read something controversial, that's probably just because you're not willing to controversial enough to read this controversial novel, and you should read it anyway.

You don’t always come by media about the internet that has a solid concept of how young people use it. The impacts of existing on the internet on the characters is realistic and interesting.

What would you do if you were offered $200,000 cash to transport a woman and a large black box across the country? You cannot look inside the box. You cannot ask questions. You cannot tell anyone. You must leave immediately. And you must leave all trackable devices behind.
This was such a crazy ride! Being my first book of Pargin, the chaos and craziness combined with heart warming and humorous situations, was completely unexpected. And while some reality need to be suspended, I also kept thinking, “Well, I guess that could probably happen.” As per most of the reviews, there is a lot of social commentary in this book, but around the commentary was dialog, that in my opinion was thought provoking and should be “the start of a conversation, not the conclusion” per the authors notes. Each of the characters were flawed in their own way and while totally fictional, most were recognizable and showed growth overtime. Unfortunately. I do feel like this will be a decisive book and you will either love it or hate it. I do hope it prompts conversations and I actually loved it.

A really fun novel that peers at societal functions and social media's claws it has in people.
