2.0

I really liked this book at first but then I couldn't finish 200 pages in, started skimming through and eventually looked up spoilers. I like the idea but it felt like there was too much buildup and it didn't go anywhere for a quarter of the book. This book should've been 100 pages shorter, I felt like it was just a story about Anna and her troubled life with her summer babysitting job. Maybe thrillers just aren't for me
