4.0

A decent dystopian novel with a common anti-tech theme. The characters and their backgrounds bring a realistic complexity to them, and knowing what is right or wrong. Roth’s writing felt a little odd to me, but it may also have been a cognitive choice to withhold small information from the reader to be revealed in a later chapter.

4.5

- illustrative imagery 
- excellent world building
- steady character development
- captivating plot
- effective narration style
- made me think more critically about how technology can be used or misused depending on one's view
-

enjoyed how throughout the book we slowly learn more about the main character; the book slowly reveals more and more about her backstory in an entrancing way

-

satisfying ending

-

mixed feelings about romance? there were subtleties present in the narrative that pointed towards romanic interest, but it still felt like it escaleted too quickly
