I had difficulty finishing this book. The concept was original, I liked that. But none of the characters felt real, so it was hard to relate to them or deeply enjoy the story. The story is also filled with predictable phrases, and scenarios. As a result, my favourite character was Nano and maybe the doctor. I wouldn’t buy a follow up of the series, but it was fun to have read this.

Oh, and I loved that Haley was a plus-sized girl without there being a side-story about her needing to loose weight or anything like that. That was refreshing (an extra .25)
