- Honestly, I read this whole 250 page book in one day and I'm not entirely sure what to make of it. @carrickreads called it Jane Eyre in space, and I think that's pretty dead on (especially because I thought James was a total jerk).
- The lack of quotation marks around dialogue always makes me feel like the characters are at a remove from me, like I am watching the proceedings float by through a window.
- I didn't like how June always had the solution that dozens of other geniuses working for months or years couldn't come up with, even when she didn't have any formal training.
- Now, I've said all this stuff I didn't like, and yet, I blew through the book and needed to know what was going to happen. Like I said, I have no idea how I feel about it!
