This was a single point of view narrative from the main characters, Lena’s lens. I really enjoyed the world building. Definitely gave me iRobot vibes especially with the both main characters from the movie and book having a disdain of  AI technology. I’m not sure if I liked Lena because her constantly needing to repeat that she did not approve of AI/tech but not giving the reader her own points of view why she felt this way was annoying. You do see a small shift in her beliefs as the story progresses. Either way it was a enjoyable ride. And the plot twist I did not see it coming but I had a small inkling of it. Not sure about her love interest choices, there is a love triangle. Plan to read the next book in the series.
