4.0

A fun, twisty thriller with an underlying moral message about the corruption of tech corporations and people's complacence with it. I really hated how one particular character's story ended--
even teenage psychopaths don't deserve to suffocate at the bottom of the ocean! I also found Issy sympathetic, since her parents so utterly failed to give her treatment.
I'm not sure if that's how the author intended the reader to feel about that character, but I don't think my reaction was exactly what he expected.
