Reread this for 372 pages and it was worse than I remembered. Entertaining in the way that a bad movie is entertaining. Jazz is insufferable as a protagonist, I wanted her to perish at multiple points in the novel. The author spent all this time researching the science behind the novel but then completely fudges the stakes at the climax of the story in a way that felt very cheap. I had some laughs at least. Chekhov’s reusable condom never paid off!
