Not the best of books. The main problem was the main character, Jazz. I really don’t like her, and we’re living this story though her eyes, so there’s a lot of Jazz. 

I hated the cliche writing, the book is full of it. “In this bar you could get anything you wanted to drink as long as it was beer”. And the whole “best” narrative though the book was a pain, “my dad was the best welder on the moon”, “my friend was the best EV pilot on the moon”, “this is the best parking job I’ve seen”, “my friend had the best…” whatever. I wish this was the best book ever too Andy.
