2.0

For some reason, this book was recommended to me by Audible, but it is clearly aimed at teenagers.  On Audible, it might be even more annoying than if I were to have just read it via text, because the narrator does all the adult's voices like really naggy stupid people.  The narrator also does all the antagonists voices like dopes.  And that's the thing I hate about this book. Everyone in it is black and white. There is no kind adult.  There is no complicated antagonist.  The plot is predictable, straight-forward, not complicated at all.  And perhaps being that I've been reading feminist books, I was particularly annoyed that all the love interest boy had to do in the book to endear him to the protagonist was show up.  So annoying.  I do not recommend.
