Really, really awful book. The characters are flat and uninspired, the murderbot itself got old very fast. Oh look at me I hate everything I'm so quirky.

Some slight intrigue, but mostly a boring slog with characters that I did not care about at all.

Without giving spoilers the novel tackles themes of non conformity, the pressures and consequences of conformity, and how people can become very weird if you deviate from the script.

If you read it, keep in mind that it's not a YA adult but a middle grade novel. That being said, it's an excellent story! I quite enjoyed it and maybe I did cry at the end.

Basically the Barbie movie with well... bots coupled with the benefits of reading feminist literature. A bit on the nose at times but a rather interesting and enjoyable read. 

I felt like this could've been condensed down into half of the length or less. 

It does provide some valuable insights but nothing explicitly groundbreaking or stuff I haven't figured out myself.

Also, I have ADHD. Medically diagnosed. I can say some of these strategies may be kind of useless or not entirely applicable for those who have brains that are well... ADHD.
