A really fun read for my ADHD brain. I like how it bounced back and forth between the contestants. I was engaged throughout. Just worried Musk, Bezos, and Zuck are going to get their ideas from this.

Really loved the concept of this story, but I wish it had been fleshed out even more. This mostly felt like a wanna-be thriller with each of the different couples' backstories, rather than showing how the AI kids grew up and how the parents struggled internally between wanting an AI vs biological child.
