Parasocial

I liked the idea of this book, but the execution just felt a bit shallow? It's titled parasocial and supposedly about obsession but we barely see any evidence of either of those things. The only interactions between the narrator and the focus of her “obsession” that we see are a couple of short IM back and forths. We're told rather than shown.

Would have been much more enjoyable, for me, if it was a longer book with more of a slow burn build up demonstrating the growing obsession before the confrontation and the one-two punch of “oh she's a catfish” followed by “ohhhh she's a psychopathic witch.”

The horror bits were very fun though, I enjoyed the second half of the book a lot more than the first.
