3.0

This was a really creative idea and I was excited to dive into it, but by about halfway through it felt like there was way too much focus on teen angst and not enough on the story that COULD have been wildly entertaining and unique. And while I am never one to have a problem with representation in books, the representation here felt more like it was for the sake of it than anything else and it almost felt like an afterthought a lot of the time. With some editing and a bit of a more mature approach, this would have been a much better read.
