 I completely devoured the audiobook for this one in a single day. It moved so quickly and felt like I was watching a Black Mirror episode (one of the good ones). It had an understated and personal quality that I loved. Annie was really easy to root for and sympathize with.

This book doesn’t have anything wildly new to say about feminism or patriarchal expectations placed on women, but it still really worked for me as far as the social commentary went. I was so invested in all the quiet moments where we got to see Annie interrogate her own identity and really consider what she wanted out of life. I also found the ending to be really satisfying. 

Definitely a sci-fi/dystopian to check out if you want something that’s grounded and feels more literary and character-driven.
