4.0

This was a gripping read. The writing style felt notably impersonal, distant in a way that I thought was done very well. It's a dystopian plotline that you can imagine happening IRL. But now I'm just curious whether the author borrowed any ideas from Little Fires Everywhere.

Frida pulled a Bebe and I knew what was coming as soon as it started happening.
