I wanted to like this more, but it reads like the Crazy Rich Asians for disaffected millennial techies, but updated with liberal guilt and disillusionment.

I was immediately drawn into the narrative and how strong the voice of each POV was.  It was easy to visualize scenes as if it was being played out in a movie. There was a lot wrapped up in this book and I liked how the author got into the minds/feelings of each character while also keeping a lot of the dialogue lighter or snarky so the topics didn't feel as heavy as they were. Typically, I'm more of a plot-driven reader, but I appreciate the character development and this author's style of writing. I'm putting her debut on my TBR.
