2.0

Although I had high hopes for this book, I found the pace far too slow and the first 100 pages effectively repeated what was on the blurb. There were some interesting plot points but it didn’t make up for the lacklustre ending and disjointedness as a result of the 4 different view points and irregular time jumps. Also the cringeworthy way the teenagers spoke spoiled it for me.
