4.0

I liked how reflective the book was. The focus on the people and their relationships was the right call for a book with this theme. One might argue that not much happened or that there wasn't enough description of how it affected the world but I feel like the book struck the right balance between personal story and showing political implications.
Overall I was really invested in the characters' fates and I will think about this books for a long time for sure.
