I’m mad this was never assigned to me in school, and that I’m just now getting to it in my 30’s. I enjoyed the characters and the world building. I wouldn’t say the characters were “loveable,” but certainly the main character is somewhat relatable. It’s very creepy to me how realistic this novel feels in 2025. Definitely will re-read the physical version in the future.
