5.0

I love the world building, the writing style, the characters. This book felt deeply personal to me. I especially love the little sci-fi touch in the world building. I also love the seemless integration of technology. It doesn't feel alien or misplaced. As this is the book is the first in a series I still have some questions but it doesn't feel like plot holes. The characters are multifaceted, well thought out and rounded.

I also love how the lgbtqia reps are woven into the story. I especially love Larkin and the maters.
