Normally I enjoy sci-fi set in a “real world” but I couldn’t get my head around this concept. Just not the book for me. It also had a lot of trigger warnings (suicide/violence) that were difficult and caused me to have to put down but I also wanted to push through because so many have loved this book. I didn’t feel like it was worth finishing but glad I tried it.
