Would have been better if Alice and Julia (maybe Leah at the end) were the only narrators

I could have went without the Leah pov, Pierre pov being added in. Even the Leo pov. Felt it wasn't needed. But, a decent read, nonetheless. Kept my interest.

Very meh to me. Reminded me of The Americans on Prime. Not fulfilling for me.

I agree with a lot of the reviews that I saw for this book. The concept of it is amazing - I just don't think it lived up to what it could've been. The main characters weren't developed enough, making it hard to root for either. Some of the extra characters and story lines thrown in were confusing and, in my opinion, didn't add to the story. And I didn't need a lot of the descriptions of Julia's childhood. I don't want to give spoilers, so I'll just say that the outcome at the end didn't seem realistic. Overall, the book was just meh - and that's disappointing, because it had the potential to be a real 5-star.

It didn’t end wrapped up but that’s how every great, unpredictable, complicated book is. I enjoyed the accurate industry and locational info as someone with a correlated job in a similar industry in SF.

this was def a fun read, maybe 3.5
felt so bad for Alice omg, but also feel like her character should have much more depth??
Julia is a complex character but I feel like it wasn't represented super well??
loved all the silicon valley references: Lawrence expressway?? cheesboard????
