I just found the whole book dull and poorly written. But worse than that, the author seems to want to infer that the main character is on the autistic spectrum and the portrayal is offensive. She is written as an inhuman android.

One of the worst books I've ever read. Not interesting plot, characters are completely over the top and unbelievable, and the pacing makes it just plain boring.
