Couple parts left me a bit confused and story felt a bit rushed. I think a bit more detail and story length would have been perfect as the plot is very interesting.

Just didn't quite work as either a romance or science fiction story for me.

What a ride!!!

I’ve had this book sitting in my (ever growing) TBR pile because I loved the cover and the title. Come on, when has there ever been a romance about AI? Plus the MC was a Black woman? Sign me up!!! After finally getting to it (in a pledge I’ve made to myself to at least make an ATTEMPT to reduce my TBR pile) - I LOVED IT!!!!

It’s not overly long, but man does it pack a punch! I did not see the book going in the direction it was and honestly, I hope it has a book 2 because there are so many things I want to get closure on. Looking at you Penny, Dr. Zhang and Yana. As well as the future of Hive.

What did I enjoy about this book? Saying EVERYTHING would be such a cop out, but I liked a great many things. The characters, the little Easter eggs, the immersive storytelling, the dialogue between all the characters. Even the non human ones. Sidenote, I shall now be kinder to my microwave and other appliances. You never know when the day might arrive when they have my back in an attack from the terminator. Lol.

I loved Trinity and LW 017- I’m sorry, I mean, Le Wei. The way they learned from each other - more so him learning from her - and the cutesy moments they had with him saying things that made my heart flutter. *insert girlish giggling* Him being a biosynthetic humanoid was so well done. I didn’t forget he was, but it also didn’t take me out of the story and make the relationship weird. I was rooting for their love and I too got the hots for the ‘Bicentennial Man’ (IYKYK).

Penny and Le Wei’s interactions made me guffawed because Penny was so sassy. She definitely have a spicy Siri. That entire Reddit interaction had me proper wheezing. Thank you, Alyssa. That was comedic timing done well. Not too over the top or even over done.

The relief and feelings frustrations Trinity felt when she learnt that she was indeed not losing her mind and spiders were indeed the cause of a the minor issues- I felt it right with her. I wanted to reach through and give her a hug. She should see a therapist. Maybe Penny, as Penny will help her out now. Lol.

Enjoyed this book, would read again.
