the entire time I was waiting for a big twist but never got it. also, while I was endeared by Lee, her characterization confused me. Why was she more socially disconnected compared to her peers? Is she on the spectrum? If so, would the argument still stand that technology and the dystopian society has made her who she is, or was she born this way? Likely she was nurtured this way, but she just stuck out as being Born Yesterday compared to someone like Veronika. Would have liked more scenes about just a general social ineptitude (we get one at that weird party where people are communicating via prompts). In sum, this was a cute and sweet read. Veronika and Lee bffls

It was a good beach read. I think it was meant to be more thought provoking than it was, but i’m not mad for reading it

Loved this book. Really a great conversation about the human experience and an interesting look into the future of AI. I hope the author writes her next book soon! I will be buying!
