I honestly have no idea what the plot of this story was. I felt constantly lost on what's going on, who these people are, where we are and how tf

A really enjoyable, if surprisingly dense, read. A heist, noir, "cyberpunk" thriller, with somewhat flat but likeable characters.

I will say, that while the overall plot wasn't that hard to follow, I did struggle in parts to understand exactly what was going on.

I think if this is your type if read and you don't need a lot in terms of context or explanation, you would probably enjoy this. From what I was able to grasp, the plot was great and intriguing. Unfortunately, I was lost the whole time I read this. There is a lot of slang used, and without context, the reader is left to figure it out on their own. Plus, all the technical words that go along with the computer aspects of this story. The story would also jump from one scene to the next in a way that felt random and also left me confused. Plus, there were these weird sexual scenes that didn't fit into the story.
