At times felt like there was a lot going on and at other times felt like it was dragging and I was waiting for something bigger to happen. Ultimately thought the concept was important and an interesting take

This book had me gasping and yelling 😂

What an incredibly harrowing concept. I wish I could thank Yomi Adegoke personally for writing this 😳 

It keeps you guessing until the very end too. There was nary a moment where I was not hooked 🗣️

I thought I had clocked it when Celie started speaking to Ola about Michael, but NO! Aaron? Fucking eh! 😫

Highly recommend this one for an anxiety-inducing book! 4.5 out of 5 stars for me, thank you ✨ Content warnings below!

Not sure how I felt about this one. From the get go, you know it's going to be hard for the author to write a complete story, which way to go, will it be a cliche etc. I felt that the author did a good job of showing the grey and the middle ground reaction and action of the characters. The last chapter was such a random plot twist, not sure how I felt about it

An interesting concept with 3d characters, i do think that the q+a section with the authors and one of the narrators was very good and added a lot of context to the writing
