Read it without knowing much about the plot. Had a vague idea from the cover and marketing that it would be some kind of romcom. Turned out not to be that, which made it hard to read at times. Incredibly well written and still worth the read, but note that it's more of a tragicomedy and check the trigger warnings list.

Most enthralling yet maddening and depressing book I have ever read. It taught me things abour science, reflected the real world to a disturbing level and was also fictional so I just wish multiple characters were real and could have actually had this effect on the world. Having 6:30 the dog narrate some parts was also a surprising highlight as I have never seen a book deploy this plot device before. I think this one will stick with me and now I want to experience it more I will just have to watch the show. There is a long list of trigger warnings though so reader's beware.
