I really enjoyed this story especially the unique way it was written. Was is believable that a 17 year old saves the day with zero experience when veterans can't comprehend doing the stuff she does? Ofcourse not but it did make for an entertaining read. An AI falling in love with said teen supergirl and being envious of her bf? Cue me rolling my eyes super hard! I rarely pick up YA books nowadays but this was a quick and fresh read. It gets bonus points because the romance was minimum, the story focused more on moving the plot along. Liked the ending very much.
