2.0

I was so close to DNF’ing this book so many times. The sensitive topics aren’t handled with care and it seemed unnecessarily graphic or insensitive. The characters were cool (especially Alex) and the ending was satisfying but it wasn’t worth reading through 300+ pages worth of bullshit. But hey, the ending was cool!
