This book is incredible. I laughed, I cried, I got angry and heartbroken and hopeless and hopeful. Not sure how you got me to root for the murderous AI with an obsessive crush on the main character, but you did. The plot twist was insane and made me cry. This is one of those books that will stay with me for a long time.

So exciting. The format of this book  makes it very accessible, especially for the sci-fi genre. I found the main characters loveable and was moved by the twists that kept coming. I've never read anything like it and can't wait to read the next book in the series!
