Interesting plot and characters, as well as unexpected plot twists, but I felt it went on longer than needed.

This is an intense story. I love each passenger's stories. Libby and the rest of the jurors had unique personalities, especially Jack. I rarely read futuristic stuff and I'm glad that I picked this up because it was interesting. 

The "hacker" was so interesting. The dark themes such as pedophilia, suicide, etc. made my skin crawl. I was so mad at Sofia's husband, Patrick. He dared to threaten her about his dark side. Disgusting was an understatement. 

Oh, Sofia thinking that she joined a reality TV show was hilarious until it didn't. 

Heide blackmailing his cheating husband was awesome in a way that he had a taste of his own medicine. The squirming and mine games made it all worth it. 

The ending was interesting as well. And the triple life of Jude. Hey Jude✨

Thank you, John❤️
