This was a solid, funny dystopian satire. I really enjoyed the world and the way the world building was done (the ads/newsfeed parts in between chapters were great). I loved pretty much all of the characters, especially the group of robots, they were great.
The reason it’s 4 and not 5 stars is because 1. I didn’t really like the romance that happened in the story (I didn’t hate it either, it just felt very rushed and not built up) and 2. The plot wasn’t super memorable to me. However- it was a very enjoyable experience in the moment.
I know that makes it sound more like a 3-star, but I loved the world and the characters so much that I have to give it 4 instead of 3 stars. I definitely would read more books set in this world.
Recommend! I think most people will enjoy it and find it funny.

While I understand that the book is making fun of current events especially surrounding sexism, racism, etc. I feel like it was using that fact to just be sexist, racist, etc. Also The twist that Calliope was writing the book felt a little unoriginal and dissatisfying.
