This book reads like an episode of Black Mirror. You're never sure where it's headed, who to trust, or what's coming next. There were a couple jaw-drop moments for me that I didn't see coming. 

I did feel like it started a bit slow, and didn't really pick up until about page 130. After that things moved pretty quickly, but I feel like overall, the book could have been 50-80 pages shorter. Also, I found that despite some of the characters being American, they spoke with British vocabulary and diction, making it very noticeable that they were being written by a British author.

Overall, I enjoyed reading this book, and it kept me guessing to the very end.
