I appreciated the concept of world without death and diseases (obviously). Loved the philosophical dilemmas that came with it. Also the aspect of AI not being evil but actually ‘morally superior’ to humans is refreshing. There is no genre better for soft philosophical treaties than sci fi dystopia. 
It was entertaining, fast paced read. I didn’t care much for the romantic thread, but the plot twists were unanticipated and this kept me even more interested.

Four stars despite the romance that doesn’t feel earned, but it’s YA so what else can ya expect. Interesting concept, but the pacing felt off somehow. Curie and Faraday were by far the most interesting parts to me, and I grew invested in Citra easily. Rowan held no interest which is a bummer.
