4.5 ⭐️ (spoilers ahead)
This book had me guessing and it really shifted as you went along. The first part was a bit slow as Seth was alone and trying to figure out what this work was all about but once you hit part 2 and onwards it picks up.
Once you find out that it might be a simulation they woke up from, it gave me a bit of Matrix vibes (real world vs the online one) I enjoyed the bond between Seth, Regine and Tomasz, I believed it. And the Driver was a great villain? Entity? And you never quite know all the answers
TW: suicide, death, child abuse, child death, lgbtq harassment
