This was wild and I could definitely see how someone struggling with anxiety and other mental illness could get thrown by a "well-intentioned" AI that suggested scary things that fit in with their existing fears. I liked that there were queer characters (FMC has previous female partners and a crush on a new female friend) and I thought the mental illness portrayal felt realistic. Overall it was fast-paced and kept me interested the whole time.
