Love it. I feel like I haven't stopped thinking about this book since I read it in college. I would read anything Eskridge wrote. I wish I could read a million books like this one. I want to read one she recommended on Twitter--[b:Magonia|21393526|Magonia (Magonia, #1)|Maria Dahvana Headley|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1413479866s/21393526.jpg|40690062]. I like a lot of the characters. Probably Neill was my favorite--her advisor who knew how to handle everyone and get them to function as a team. I like Snow a lot. She is so beautiful. I like Jackal's web. Chao, with her womb chair. Crichton with her different contact lenses every day. Scully, not always likable, making grilled cheeses and knowing what wine Snow will like based on her favorite color. I like Jackal, how she drinks too much. Even Donatella, the complicated way she feels about her daughter's accomplishments. Khofi. Most of all, I think, Ko. Beautiful name. Lots of beautiful concepts for how they want things to work--the web, the training, being all-encompassing, like Google. I don't like Estar much, very pretentious, with all the different music in each room. But even still I kind of like her. On this last reading, it struck me as extremely sad. Just something about Jackal and Snow. It wasn't a great ending. SO many things it could have gone on with.
