LOVED this book! There were definitely times it was a hard read but it was so hard to put down. I'd pick it up for a bit of reading for bed and then poof it's 2 hours after my bed time. It felt like a very timely read with the current US affairs where the struggling working class is banding together to "take on" corporate. (though not nearly so traumatic, it's a loosely connected theme for me) Time also felt a little mushy/not well denoted, much like the pandemic. That did make it hard to track the timeline of events, which hurt it a little bit for me, but it's not really a problem. I particularly enjoyed the mixture of the mystery of trying to find her mom and handling the ship's current affairs. The ending left me satisfied but also wanting more.
