One of the book's strengths is its ability to create a vivid and mesmerizing setting. The concept of a tower that stretches into the sky, with each floor representing a different social class and lifestyle, is brilliantly executed. McGee's attention to detail paints a picture of a luxurious yet complex society, complete with extravagant parties, advanced technology, and the allure of the unknown. The descriptions of the tower's opulent interiors and the glamorous lives of its residents provide a tantalizing glimpse into a future that is both glamorous and unsettling.
The characters in "The Thousandth Floor" are multifaceted and well-rounded, each with their own secrets, desires, and struggles. Their interconnected lives and intertwining storylines create a sense of intrigue and suspense. The forbidden romances and tangled relationships add an extra layer of complexity to the narrative, keeping readers invested and eager to uncover the outcomes. While the book juggles multiple perspectives, McGee expertly weaves them together, ensuring that each character's voice is distinct and compelling. Overall, "The Thousandth Floor" is an enthralling and imaginative read that will appeal to fans of futuristic settings, intriguing characters, and a healthy dose of mystery.

I decided I couldn't rate it higher than I have however for a couple reasons:
Having said all that thought, I still gave it 4.25 as I really did enjoy reading it, I just had a couple qualms.

Also, I cannot believe this is her debut novel! Clearly working as an editor first taught her how to write a tightly paced page-turner with characters that each feel unique and fully-realized.
