I like the formatting of it in text chats and transcripts of surveillance footage.

The bit about AIDAN pretending to be Ezra was a bit confusing and I do kinda wish the audience knew about it before Kady found out.

This book is incredible. I laughed, I cried, I got angry and heartbroken and hopeless and hopeful. Not sure how you got me to root for the murderous AI with an obsessive crush on the main character, but you did. The plot twist was insane and made me cry. This is one of those books that will stay with me for a long time.
