5.0

One of the best books I have ever read! 

Phenomenal disability rep for a character with agency? Check. 

An adorable service dog? Check. 

A swoon-worthy love interest? Check. 

Interesting world building and futuristic technology that seems grounded in reality? Check. 

World building that centers gender-neutral language (joyfriend, spouse) and assumptions (Mx., they) until informed otherwise as part of a naturalized pronoun introduction? Check. 

A murder mystery with twists that kept me guessing and turning the pages? Check. 

Honestly, this book has it all!
