I'm not really sure how I feel about this book. One thing that I have not been able to get past is the idea that has been drilled into our heads as children of the internet, don't trust people that you meet online. It is something that has come up so many times in the reading, but does not really work with this book. There is a certain discord that I get from reading the conversations, even knowing that the person is being honest. I just can't seem to get past all of that to consider their relationship as something that is real and honest.
I do like the idea of this, being that you are representing yourself completely online, not over the phone or on a web cam, which are more common nowadays. This is the truest expression of identity online.
