3.75

3.75 stars for me. This was an interesting and fast-paced read, and I enjoyed multiple story lines (some quite a bit more than others). I almost wish that, rather than focusing on so many couples, the author had stuck with just two or three of them. It was hard to get attached to any of the characters, although I know this was obviously a plot-driven book. It felt very much like a long Black Mirror episode, and I'll definitely be interested to watch the Netflix show.
