This book is about a father and daughter relationship. David is Ada's dad and he works in tech and is working on this AI machine called Elixir. David has been teaching Ada and she is a regular fixture in his lab. David's memory starts to go at an early age and Ada has to go live with a friend because David can no longer take care of her. It is during this time that Ada is trying to piece together her dad's life because there are so many unanswered questions and he may not be who he said he was. The book goes back and forth in time, which worked for me and I never got confused where in time they were.
I enjoyed this novel very much. I listened to the audiobook and I thought that it was really well done. It was interesting how AI played a big part in the novel and then to read this backlist book when AI is a big thing right now. I really liked the father and daughter relationship in this book, especially towards the end when things are revealed and as a reader you got a better glimpse into their relationship. I enjoyed the characters and the storylines. I think that the ending pays off and you get all of the answers you wanted. Some things were predictable, but it didn't bother me.
