Illuminae by Amie Kaufman
5.0

Holy shit. How has it taken me this long to read this?! I am OBSESSED.

So much to unpack from that. RIP Jimmy. RIP Chatter. Fucking AIDAN. I hated it and then I didn't hate it and then I sorta liked it and now I fucking love it? HOW, Jay? HOW DO YOU DO THIS?!

I swear, I thought Ezra was really dead. I thought Kady was gonna die. I thought the two heroes of this book were really gonna snuff it. BUT NO. The twists were delicious.

The format was also a delightful change of typical prose. I thought I would hate it but I thoroughly loved it. Oh, and the twist of the big bad leader of BeiTech being Ezra's mom is FANTASTIC. And I love that it sounds like AIDAN is being rebuilt to be on Kady's side or whatever you wanna call it. I'm addicted to this series now and am immediately starting the second book.
