 Refreshing!

I really enjoyed this. Lena had an excellent narrative voice and didn't feel like a blank sheet of paper. Her rebellious attitude against the digitalization of society coupled with machinery becoming an actual part of her was a super fun conflict.

There's a sizeable slice of mystery and a dollop of thriller, but the sci-fi nature stays consistent throughout. I'll read the next book for sure!
