I thought 'Box Socials' would be more upbeat, but it has some heavy themes. The writing is decent, but the cover art felt misleading. It was an okay read, but I probably wouldn't recommend it to everyone.

Interesting Concept but Slow at Times
'Box Socials' has an intriguing premise, but I found some parts a bit slow. It's a good read for its unique take on social themes, but I wish the pacing was better. Still, worth checking out if you enjoy character-driven stories.
