Inspired by #gamergate, this novel takes readers far down the rabbit hole of hatred, misogyny, and white supremacy. And it does this through mostly the haters’ point of view, which is a good way of flipping the script.

In a nutshell, Eliza Bright works for development company Fancy Dog (sounds an awful lot like Naughty Dog, eh?) and is upset by some immature ribbing from two of her male coworkers. When she speaks up, she’s told not to make it into a big deal. Then, when she goes to a journalist with her story, everything quickly blows up. I won’t tell you what happens next, but this novel has a couple of truly shocking events.

When the book isn’t told from the haters’ POV, it switches to the Sixsterhood. This is a group of queer people who live in an artist commune together. They’ve got a much more evolved POV. However, for some reason, they use a lot of run-on sentences and no punctuation. So, that was a bit troublesome to read. Overall, though, they were a group of people that anyone who likes having people around them would feel very supported by.

I really appreciated what Eliza did before the book ended. This definitely raises many moral questions, but it answers them too. Here’s a hint: if you’re on the side of the haters, you’ve chosen the wrong side.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing an ARC. This review contains my honest, unbiased opinion.
