special thanks to NetGalley and Atria Books for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
my feelings on this were constantly conflicting. i enjoyed some parts, and the mystery part of the story was fun to read and unravel with the characters.
but, there was some things i couldn’t get over. and ultimately made me not enjoy it in the end.

- for three-long paragraphs, jackson, the male main character, went on an internal monologue about how great ChatGPT is while signing up for it? like it really felt like i was reading a sponsorship.
- there was some weird misogynistic undertones that really left me feeling gross. bleh. very blatant that it was written by a woman and a man.
- there was a tasteless “joke” about someone being on the spectrum. i.e. basically the whole shtick of the joke was that being on spectrum made someone “stupid”. like, no. ew. disgusting.
so, yeah this just wasn’t for me.
