Having read a lot of genre scifi that tackles many of the issues raised in this book, I was very curious to read more of a litfic take that centered on female relationships. Alas, this book was a deeply ambivalent read for me that felt rather derivative compared to much of the near future scifi I have read. If you mostly read literary fiction, this book will probably feel more "electrifying" as the blurb promises, but for me this felt like the book equivalent of week-old leftovers that have been warmed over too many times. The premise was great, but the execution was unoriginal — not to mention very longwinded, and I found myself rather bored by it. I quickly skimmed through the book so that I could put it down and move onto other things.
