Future Perfect by Felicia Yap
4.0
A combination of both a murder mystery and a riveting love story of a computer specialist and a police commissioner.
Love the premise idea and exposition. Interesting glimpse of Britain in the 2030s-- the predictive technology was cool (trendy but how it can do prediction so accurately was somehow a bit terrifying) and the drones part kind of interesting too.
The storytelling was based on each character's point of views + one mysterious narrative from the past. I was a bit perplexed with this narrative that was set in the 90s in Montana, but it was so compelling to read the character's story and the moment the character said 'I was given a pair of androgynous black breeches' I already get my answer there.
I love the 'calm' nuances as well as the writing style which so proper and neat (I remembered how I love Yesterday because of the writing style as well)-- the twists were quite good (although I was really taken aback with the culprit's reason on the bombing incident) and I fancy Christian a lot! I was a bit struggling with Alexander's narrative (although I find the dynamic in all characters were greatly done), his story don't piqued my interest that much even though all those mystery and crime connected to him. Favourite part of the excerpt and fragments of each characters at the end of each chapters
