3.75

3.75 stars for some light sci-fi and an interesting idea. It took me a bit of time but maybe around the halfway mark I was enjoying this book and the many voices Jane Rogers was capable of capturing. I honestly don't remember how I heard about this or why I even put it on my TBR but it was something slightly different for me and paid off! Could easily be an episode of Black Mirror, now that I think about it, and I mean that in a good way. The concept is well-explored for a 200 page book and it does well to contextualise the procedure as something that only people of a certain class can afford, and the social dynamics around that too. Overall a decent read :)
