Mickey7 by Edward Ashton
4.0
dark funny medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes

Like many readers, I only heard about this book because of its recent adaptation. The movie looked decent, so I logically thought I'd pick the book up first. 

It reminded me of Murderbot with its vibe and tone, but it definitely has its own personality and themes. Mickey is an entertaining character. I found myself hooked almost immediately. The constant gallows humor combines perfectly with the captivating dystopian concepts. I hope the movie does it justice because I'm now pretty excited to see it.
