10/10 for girlies in STEM.
I'm a bit upset about the cliffhanger at the end. Other than that, this book was perfection.
I love to see a strong-willed young woman take what she wants despite societal expectations and limitations. Her sheer determination was inspiring from beginning to end.
Despite literally all odds, she kept her sights set on her purpose and never faltered, even when she was falling in love. Even though the romance was a small part of the story, I think this book still did a phenomenal job of reinforcing that love is not the only thing that can be fulfilling, and just because you love someone doesn't mean you should negate yourself.
