This was a sweet little book and a wonderful quick read. Such fun concepts! I think the community is progressing quickly, so there were a couple of possibly outdated terms used. But all in all, this was a really excellent thought experiment that I am very pleased with.

While I was a bit hesitant to read this book, in the end, I truly loved it. While the first two pages or so are a bit confusing, everything starts to come clear. I honestly loved how in depth the authors went when creating all of this rules and customs as well as the sweet tech that they have. The characters are interesting and honestly, I quite like how well thought out all the characters are. I love how both Astie and Danny interact with each other and how much their lives contrast and how they adjust to that. This is a very light and cheery dystopian novel, which is not something you see as often. I really enjoyed something lighter and it was a quick and refreshing read.
