I found this book very enjoyable even though it’s not my usual genre. The characters are beautiful, complicated and challenge each other. I didn’t quite understand the ending and felt it was a bit flat. I’d still recommend.

Didn’t enjoy the story or the narrator performance on Audible.

This book was BEAUTIFULLL. 
Bonus: if you finish the book, there's a puzzle on the author's website that, once solved, leads to a devastating short story that take places after the last chapter.

Well written with some very good moments and great prose but overall not the most original story and generally quite depressing rather than inspiring or hopeful. I feel like I should have liked it more but it mostly left me sad and disappointed in the ending which overshadowed the better parts of this novel. 

I did really like how the characters changed over time and the line about h

e thought he was me and I was him was wonderful

but the whole

cryosleep matrix thing

was just dumb and really made the rest of the book feel less important. I feel like if this had been done in a way that made everything that happened earlier significant the whole thing would have been much better overall and the ending wouldn't have been so bad. 

If you need a good cry then read this book as most everything up until the end is beautiful.
