The Take Down
The Take Down | Corrie Lynn Wang
7 posts | 6 read | 5 to read
Kyla Cheng doesn't expect you to like her. For the record, she doesn't need you to. On track to be valedictorian, she's president of her community club, a debate team champ, plus the yummy Mackenzie Rodriguez has firmly attached himself to her hip. She and her three high-powered best friends don't just own their senior year at their exclusive Park Slope, Brooklyn high school, they practically define the hated species Popular. Kyla's even managed to make it through high school completely unscathed. Until someone takes issue with this arrangement. A week before college applications are due, a video of Kyla "doing it" with her crush-worthy English teacher is uploaded to her school's website. It instantly goes viral, but here's the thing: it's not Kyla in the video. With time running out, Kyla delves into a world of hackers, haters and creepy stalkers in an attempt to do the impossibletake something off the internetall while dealing with the fallout from her own karmic footprint. Set in near-future Brooklyn, where privacy is a bygone luxury and every perfect profile masks damning secrets, The Takedown is a stylish, propulsive, and provocative whodunit, asking who would you rely on if your tech turned against you?

Day 6 of the #lyricallybookishjuly is "'Pictures of You' book cover with pictures or pictures in the book" I chose The Takedown by Connie Wang. It doesn't come out as good as I wanted, but the cover is so cool, as it's a photo mosaic and so the picture of the girl is made up of tiny other pictures. I always love these types of pictures. #PhotoInception

I really liked his book. I thought it did a great job bringing some social media issues to the light. I think sometimes we forget how much of our lives is on the internet and all the risks that can happen.

Definitely check this book out because I think Corrie Wang did a great job.

Ondanks de imperfecte personages is dit boek toch echt een van mijn favorieten geworden. Juist de onvolmaaktheden van de karakters, in combinatie met een krachtige boodschap m.b.t. slut shaming, cyberbullying en feminisme maakten dit boek tot een ware parel die bij lange na niet de aandacht krijgt die het verdient.

A fun, fast, furious read! The plot kept me guessing and I could have read this is one sitting if Life hadn't gotten in the way. It's not quite perfect (the mc's habit of Slut shaming was annoying although there's a larger theme of anti-slut shaming) but I liked the flawed characters, the slightly futuristic setting, the diversity and the the take downs!

Flying through this one, hoping the ultimate message will be anti-slut shaming, buy so far I'm enjoying the ride. #CurrentlyReading
