3.5
A fun, lighthearted read that explores our relationship with technology, particularly how we have interwoven technology into our love-life. Protagonist is a queer-Asian and her dynamics with her family and family expectations play heavily in the story, although the character arc for her own personal development fell a little short of my hopes. There are references to intriguing backstories for secondary and tertiary characters, but they felt a little flat. Plot was interesting, plausible for the present-day/near future. Fast, quick, easy read.
