This book was... disappointing. I listened to the audiobook which was well done but really ended up disliking every single character. Lo had promise in the beginning when she was so desperate to find her sister and expose the Project but very quickly lost that integrity and ended up doing everything she was angry with her sister for, and hated the Project for. Pacing felt off, especially when Lo goes from angry to complacent. It felt instant, with little to no reasoning behind her switch. The ending was so predictable that it was almost painful. The writing was decent and it did feel suspenseful enough to finish, and honestly Lev was a very compelling character, but this book wouldn't win any awards from me.
