randomly saw this book was available on libby and downloaded it. honestly i was SHOCKED at how much i enjoyed it. i read it over the course the 2 days and it definitely kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. i really enjoyed the author's prose and narration and i loved the sci-fi elements of this story. i wish the side characters were more developed/nuanced, particularly towards the end of the story--and i do think the sci-fi parts of the story (VR, cloning, hover cars, etc.) could have done with a bit more development. but this was such a fascinating combination of literary fiction, speculative sci-fi, and murder-mystery thriller with lots of philosophical commentary on motherhood, "the self," autonomy/agency etc. definitely unique and compelling and something i've never encountered before and that warrants a high rating imo.
