I wasn't a fan of this one. 

I read this book after I went through J.P Delaney's 3 other books. I think maybe I would have liked it a bit better if I hadn't had the others as a comparison. I felt like there was a fair bit of overlap and repetition in terms of what  J. P Delaney writes about in his books (children with disabilities, technology, unreliable narration, twist endings, unrealistic expectations etc). Maybe I over did it with his books, but I felt his other books did a much better job with the things that intersected.

I didn't really feel much for the characters, beyond finding myself annoyed by Emma.

Overall, it was just meh for me.

Would be four star but spoiled it with ableism and eugenics. Incorrect language used to refer to people with Down Syndrome.
