If you like startup stories with sharp edges, this one is a gripping ride through ego, friendship, and sudden power. It reads with the speed of a thriller, but what really sticks is watching a dorm-room idea turn into a global force while relationships crack under the pressure. You come away feeling like success here was never clean, simple, or harmless.
