4.5
Pros:
- amazing speculation and world-building around a possible not-too-distant future; Frida's situation felt scary in a very real way
- incredible emotion and character establishment; I was invested from beginning to end
- strong examination of important social issues without feeling didactic or hitting the reader over the head with it
- Great tension-building pacing
Cons:
- I found the romance between Frida and Tucker a bit unnecessary to the story
