2.0

The concept was great but I found this book to be exceptionally hard to follow. The point of view kept changing without prompting so I often had to reread paragraphs to understand who was present and was speaking. The AI (Abi) narrated some but not all of the book with limited distinction between when she (it) was speaking. She would come out of nowhere and just insert into the scene interrupting the flow. The mystery itself was well formed and had many red herrings and jumbled clues with high stakes. I just wish I enjoyed reading it more.
