wait...what? so...is Graham in "their" social media world and it's really a simulation? or is he in a simulation and he's fixing it??

I'm kind of confused about the whole thing. I get where she came from and her going back, but the simulation part I don't get

Darn, just 3 stars?! hopefully that means you still at least liked it! I'll get a little farther today but mainly finish tomorrow :)

It wasn't bad I just wanted more of a thriller vibe and I was confused a few times. I hope you like the ending!
14 chapters I'm still really liking it, probably because I'm a HUGE Elder Scrolls nerd and I love all the RPG references
(view spoiler)
Mod
I was honestly suspicious of everything.. and confused lol
Mod
OOO good questions.. I didn't even think about those. What the.. who am I?

Her mom was something else. A completely horrible person.
Mod
Does she not have a day job? Or hobbies?
Mod

I feel like this might be a dumb question but is elder scrolls a game? Like video game? Or board game? Never heard of it.
Also, yes, I agree with everything in your comment!
lol YES! Elder Scrolls....um... Oblivion, Skyrim, or Morrowind? There is also Elder Scrolls online (aka ESO). and they totally start the same way, where you get like drugged or knocked out and then wake up in a prison and have to find your way out.

Good information! I've heard of Elder Scrolls but I don't play video games so I didn't understand the references

I felt like the sheath, the game and the whole G.H. storyline (and Anvi working for the social media place) were all just dis..."
Well put. I agree that if it focused on either Linda's tragedy OR the technology it would have been better
What if your past wasn’t what you thought?
As a child, Linda Russell was left to raise herself in a 20-acre walled-off property in rural Washington. The woods were her home, and for twelve years she lived oblivious to a stark and terrible truth: Her mother had birthed her only to replace another daughter who died in a tragic accident years before.
And then one day Linda witnesses something she wasn’t meant to see. Terrified and alone, she climbs the wall and abandons her home, but her escape becomes a different kind of trap when she is thrust into the modern world—a world for which she is not only entirely unprepared, but which is unprepared to accept her.
And you couldn’t see a future for yourself?
Years later, Linda is living in Seattle and immersed in technology intended to connect, but she has never felt more alone. Social media continually brings her past back to haunt her, and she is hounded by the society she is now forced to inhabit. But when Linda meets a fascinating new neighbor who introduces her to the potential and escapism of virtual reality, she begins to allow herself to hope for more.
What would it take to reclaim your life?
Then an unexplained fire at her infamous childhood home prompts Linda to return to the property for the first time since she was a girl, unleashing a chain of events that will not only endanger her life but challenge her understanding of family, memory, and the world itself.
