WHAT IS “NORMAL”?

WHAT IS “RIGHT”?

AND WHO GETS TO DECIDE?

To be a content moderator is to see humanity at its worst—but Kayleigh needs money. So she takes a job working for a social media platform whose name she isn’t allowed to mention.

Review of 'We Had to Remove This Post' on 'Goodreads'

nin sequera sabía que este libro era popular en booktok xdd, eu collérao porque o audiolibro está en oferta.

ten potencial: estaba gostando moito do primeiro 30% pola forma na que amosaba os personaxes e o traballo, tanto as condicións laborais como o ambiente. logo empeza a desenvolver un romance que, aínda que con máis páxinas e desenvolvemento podería engadir un punto de vista interesante aos temas que quere tratar, remata aportando máis ben pouco. en xeral o final síntese mal feito, as cousas van moi rápido. se o libro tivese máis páxinas para amosar como as cousas vai evoluíndo do punto A ao B, o final sería moito máis satisfactorio e impactante.

non teño problemas con unrealiable narrators ou finais abruptos, but this is not it.
