This book started strong — a deadly car crash, a question of culpability because of an assisted car, family drama. Then it kind of became insufferable with dad as narrator and the author’s inability to not write everything through a cliched male gaze, and THEN it started to peak again as the drama started to come together and solve itself. But the final quarter of the book shoved SO many plots and heavy-handed AI is smart-but-bad key messages that it kinda lost me again. Three stars because it WAS interesting.
