Almost quit couple of chapters in because the constant references to Tom Holland and Avengers Endgame were so annoying to me, but it got better as things went on and I found myself getting sucked into the story. There are some genuinely tense moments in this but they're short-lived, normally getting resolved on the first page of the next chapter, but it's a short book so that's fine. I like Cara a lot and her addition at the end of the book was nice. Some of the medical inaccuracies kind of bothered me but it's more of a me problem. I do admire what the author set out to do and know plenty of people who'd love this book
