4 Stars!!
This book had me confused, overwhelmed and hooked till the end.
Fran and Ollie meet for the first time during an interview, applying for the same job. And, it was a surprise for them when they got to know that they had both been recruited in Viral Hive. And with time they became best friends and work spouses from feeling unsure around each other. Truly, this seemed like a roller coaster ride.
From the start I had figured that the writing style was something I wasn't accustomed to. Not any major changes, but certain things here and there. And of course I had read the blurb and remembered it, so I was very excited to see where things were going. For sometime, I felt that it was stretching. Nothing major happened (and by that I mean the blurb) and I was on my toes. And then the moment arrived and I was utterly invested. Which actually made me realize that those first few pages were important for the story to have a mature base.
The characters were pretty amazing too. I mean apart from obvious dickheads, they were truly amazing. Fran's character, in a small summation, can be described as someone who's hard from inside but soft from inside. Ollie, on the other hand, was hard to pin down for me. He seemed someone who was clear about what he wanted but he made some crap decisions. And Fran and Ollie together? Obviously they were meant to be together from the beginning but, man, it was amazing and strenuous to watch them finally realize that.
The ending made me really emotional. And to be honest, although the book felt really long, at the end it was just worth it.
