This book was definitely a surprise. I really enjoyed and it read in a more mature way than I expected. The idea of coding and hacking into computers as a teen was fun. It also gave off quest kind of vibes and I liked that. I thought Margot was a really impressive narrator and I loved her inner thoughts and the wittiness that helped moved the story along. I also thought the topics were heavy but done in a way that felt light and appropriate for YA. I liked the pace of the book and how Margot came out of her shell towards the end. I'm excited to see where the story will go.
