3.0

This is very much a young adult story, centered around the main characters mental and family issues, and much less a science fiction story, so if you want the latter, I suggest you skip this one. There is a science fiction story, but it is really only a shallow backdrop for the main character going through regular teenage issues including having a weird family, topped with a good array of anxiety issues, depression, and narcissism. The science fiction part of the story was very shallow and didn't progress very much following the first chapter. So if you've read the blurb on back of the book, then yes, you got 95% of the science fiction plot already. I found the main character very unlikeable because of her constant complaining and narcissistic behavior, and how she multiple times said one thing and did the opposite, and kept complaining about everybody else's behavior when often she was the one doing the shitty or completely illogical actions (Despite multiple times stating that she liked facts and logical thinking - Oh no you don't!).

Despite the above, I found the story quite well written, so if you are into young adult teenage issues stories, then this is for you. If you want deep science fiction, then this is definitely not for you.
