“we are as real as we believe ourselves to be.”
i received this book from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
first of all, can we talk about how gorgeous this cover is? it’s possibly one of my favourite covers ever. 🥺
i went into this book not knowing what to expect. i’ve always been a fan of artificial intelligence/sci-fi but this is possibly the first book i’ve read regarding these topics... and it was phenomenal!
i’m such a fan of novels with multiple perspectives. both narrators, cee and kasey had so much depth, and i felt so protective of kasey as i saw a lot of my own characteristics in her. i loved the pace of this book, and the twist was so cleverly constructed that it had me reeling. but, overall, my favourite aspect of “the ones were meant to find” has to be the settings. the island was described so vividly that i could almost feel the salty sea air whipping my cheeks, and the eco-cities were unlike anything i’ve come across before.
the only reason i couldn’t give it 5 stars was just how complex the wording was at times. it stopped the otherwise gorgeous flow of the book, and simpler wording would have been enough. despite this, with sisterly love at its epicentre, this novel is so unique and beautifully crafted, and i’m eagerly awaiting the official release date for other’s to experience it with me.
