I wanted to like this and give these characters (mainly Sophie) another chance but I simply don’t like them enough. Separately I guess Xavier and Sophie are alright but they definitely don’t need to be together. It had some good ideas, but I feel like this book was trying to do a lot and it wasn’t really working.

My one complaint: I wish there were queer characters and relationships in this.

Other than that, a fantastic read! I loved the dual perspectives in this. Xavier with his challenges with ableism and family legacies. Sophie with her challenges of being a woman in tech and the misogyny of the field. Overall, fantastic read.
