About the book

The whole internet is obsessed with Alina’s supposed affair… with her new rector. There’s just one problem—there is no affair. But once the rumor mill starts, there’s no stopping it. Now anything—anything—can be twisted into “proof” by eager gossip hunters. So what do you do when you suddenly find yourself at the center of a scandal? In a world where tabloids have been replaced by social media, and every passerby with a smartphone can play paparazzi—snapping a photo and sending it straight to an anonymous Telegram channel just waiting for fresh dirt on you… How do you fight a story everyone is already dying to believe?

    Thank you, this story unexpectedly delighted me. I’ve become so accustomed to fantasy in academies that real-life realities, as they say, seem a bit wild. So, I guess I’m the wild one now; without magic, everything’s off, my brain just doesn’t work. Honestly, it was a bit hard to read because internet scandals are complete trash. Though I’m glad I read it, as it’s incredibly important to know how to behave when you’re being bullied. It’s great that so many pressing issues of our society were raised, such as online bullying and its consequences, hate, selling yourself for money and fame, toxic relationships, LGBT topics, socially condemned relationships, corruption... Thank you so much for immediately showing in the book that it’s normal to go to a psychologist, to seek help from qualified specialists, and to support yourself. I had suspicions about the real culprit, and I’m glad I can still follow the plot hints or just trust my intuition. I liked the reference to the drama I recognized. I squealed over it, I was so thrilled. Thank you, and wishing you inspiration!!!

    Glory to Ukraine!!! Wow, so much material for arguments ))) still, my version remains unchanged - the detective and his version could have been possible because he would also be filming, but again, it will be the picture they need, and maybe Yegor is involved in this too. Thanks for the update, wishing you a peaceful, cozy day.

    Valentina DalekaGlory to the Heroes! Well, for now, they are still doing pretty well and successfully carrying out their own calculations without outside help) And Yegor - he's still a piece of crap in any case...

    Glory to Ukraine!!! Thank you for the update, but why don't our heroes hire a detective to keep an eye on Alina? Maybe then they could track her down. Instead, they’re stuck in one place, calculating something, while no one is specifically watching the girl. Peace and victory.

    Valentina DalekaGlory to the Heroes! Why are they supposedly stuck in one place? On the contrary, they are doing a great job, actively narrowing down the circle of suspects. After all, every time there’s no photo from a fake date posted on the Telegram channel, it means there was no suspect in that group. So, this is a result that shows the effectiveness of their actions: the number of hypothetical suspects is decreasing, and soon they will be able to track down the one who is playing against them. And the photos appear also because many channel subscribers might just see her on the streets under various circumstances, take a photo, and send it in, because, unfortunately, it’s just a perverse kind of entertainment for them. That’s a feature of our modern world, where everyone has a phone with a camera in their hand and leads an active life on social media.

    Glory to Ukraine!!! Thanks for the update. And why do I feel like there will be drama on Instagram again, that she's cheating with someone else now, someone is definitely following the girl. Peace and victory.

    Glory to Ukraine!! Thanks for the update ,)) Either someone is following Alina and taking pictures, or I still lean towards the thought that Rulan is involved in everything, so the girl needs to take a closer look at the guy. Wishing you a peaceful, quiet week.

    Anna Moskvichova, "Too little content" is not criticism, but disrespect for the author's work, who, in your opinion, for 50 hryvnias (of which 30% is taken by the platform) should provide you with a dozen pages every day, and even then, it would still not be enough for you. If you don’t see anything rude in your comments and consider it normal, then clearly something is wrong here, and it’s not with me. Don’t tell the author how much they are obligated to write—they won’t tell you how to read. That’s one. And once again: SUBSCRIPTION implies that the book is published as it is being written. No less than the volumes stipulated by the contract per month and no longer than the time period regulated by the contract. The reader can either read the book at the pace the author publishes it, or accumulate updates and read a lot at once, or even wait for the completion and read everything at once. That’s three. As an author, I fully fulfill my obligations to the platform regarding the pace of publication as regulated by the contract. That’s two (and the rest is nothing more than just YOUR PERSONAL WHIMS). All the best.

    I can't help but write, especially considering some of the comments. The book is interesting and intelligent, with wonderful thoughts and remarks from the main character. Perhaps that's why it has fewer readers, because it deals with harsh realities. Who among us hasn't fallen for the general hysteria under some exposing post on social media, and who hasn't become a victim of it by going against the commonly accepted opinion? We are very dependent on various social networks today, and therefore this book is about us, and we might not be so lucky to have someone nearby who has the courage to hold a different opinion. In 80% of cases, such a student would be forced to withdraw their documents, and in 60% of cases, even the rector would be fired if they didn't have connections. As for the subscription, it's the price of a coffee with a bun, not even a pastry. And everyone decides for themselves whether to continue reading or not. Good luck and success!

    Glory to Ukraine!!! An interesting story, and for some reason, I think that Alina made a big mistake by telling Ruslan, because I believe he is that very admin, and his friends seem quite shady too. Thank you, wishing you a peaceful, quiet day.

    Valentina DalekaGlory to the Heroes! Thank you, I'm very glad that you like it! I'm trying very hard :) Actually, Alina isn't in a hurry to trust him completely, and that's why she told him not quite the truth, but a slightly different version. As for whether he is an admin or not - it's unknown. However, there are questions for him, indeed.
