2.0

This is one of the most conflicting books I have ever read. The main element is, Ruby is an annoying protagonist. At first, I was able to sympathize with her, and her way of speaking was fitting for a teenager. But in contrast to Ruby and her thoughts/behavior is the horrifying things happening around her. There are some elements of this book that will haunt me, in a beautifully tragic kind of way, and those are the parts of the book I loved, as painful as they were. But those elements are surrounded by Ruby doing things that are so annoying or frustrating that it’s hard to keep reading.

Overall, this book is a fascinating premise and I am going to read the sequel, hoping maybe Ruby will be a little less infuriating.
