zorhose 's review for:

Y/N by Esther Yi
4.0
challenging dark funny mysterious reflective tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

was this easy to read? no. i think while the plot itself is easy to follow, the writing and the message were complex and at times purposefully obfuscated.

but to me the book was intentionally written. 

i wish i knew the right person to recommend this to irl. someone who both understands fandom and would enjoy this type of novel. because there are a lot of interesting discussions to be had based of some of the questions and ethical dilemmas this book poses. i will definitely try to get my hands on a physical copy for a future reread.

also i feel like it's a good litmus test whether you first read y/n as [your name] or [yes or no]. happy to say that i originally read it as the latter(just like moon)
