3.5
Also, it’s a super conservative future world where staying married is cynically the goal because it’s best for the economy - but then people say things like “body shaming is a thought crime.” So whose totalitarian future are we in? These sort of random “oh that’s illegal now” felt anachronistic.
Definitely check the TWs on this one, basically all the bad stuff happens and a lot of things are described graphically

The book is built with short chapters from several perspectives, and each ends on a delicious cliffhanger that drives the reader through the book. I love this format, and Marrs does it incredibly well. I laughed, cried, cheered, and gasped while reading this novel. It is creepy at times and heartbreaking at others but not devoid of hope. It's speculative thriller done right.
