I am not really a science-fiction type of person, so I don‘t know if this is the case for all novels of that genre, but I kid you not when I say that I did not see any if that plot happen. And that definitely pulled me in very strongly and made me very eager to continue reading despite not really liking the main character, April (although I think that‘s the point).
Admittedly, the first 50 pages or so were a bit tough and I was worried that it was just gonna be a book about internet fame and the downside of that and blablabla, but once it got to that one point, oh boy, I could not put this novel down and finished it in one sitting. So keep pulling through, it is so worth it.
