The whole book was an excellent read for me and the plot twists are well placed.  Even though the book has an untraditional format and the story is told through a lot of different document formats, I got started quite quickly and understanding the plot wasn't a problem.

As promising of a book as this looked, it just wasn’t my cup of tea. I felt like I was supposed to ship the main characters together,  but there wasn’t really any reason to actually care about their relationship. Some of their decisions just seemed dumb. And everyone was in love with the female character for no reason. I also didn’t fully get how the virus seemed to both make some irrational but also allowed them to have enough wits to literally track someone down, and wait outside for a specific person. I would think this sudden madness would be less rational. The AI was interesting but that was where my interest ended
