Wow this was good!
I listened to the audiobook, which is always a risk with sci-fi because of how much world-building there is, but this one was excellent. There are two narrators for the two different points of views and they're both very good. The actresses brought a lot personality to their characters and they really brought out the humor and emotion in the characters' voices. I don't know if I would have loved this book as much as I did if I didn't listen to the audiobook, but I was super engaged the entire way through. I will say that I did like one of the narrators over the other one but it didn't ruin the experience in any way.
I LOVED Eris's sister, Jenny. She was so dang funny and I would find myself laughing every time she was on the page. More sister dynamics in books please!!!
Also I got this book from Netgalley as an audiobook but I'm 90% sure that it's available on audible now!

Confusing world building. Tough to follow because I didn’t have enough logistical details about the tech/world. I liked the 2 main characters. I love a found family story, but I wanted more depth from the side characters.
