Excuse me while I RUN to the next book 🏃🏼‍♀️💨 Space, AI, espionage, politics, a smidge of romance, mystery, twists!? I will be occupied for the foreseeable future.

This was a meh compared to the other books on the series. I just generally didn't enjoy it as much. It wasn't awful, but I don't love it.

This was alright, it wasn't as good as I was hoping it would be though. I'm not upset by the time spent reading it... It was just... Fine.

Thank you Libro.fm for the advanced copy of this book!

Emily's writing just keeps getting better. This might be my favorite book so far. I couldn't stop. This story was a warm, relatable hug. I wanted to read it again the second I finished it 🥹

This was a good followup to the first book. So many twists and definitely kept the story going til the end. This is a pretty good dystopian series if you like coding and plague-like viruses.

When this book was described as siblings learning about the secret life their mother lived only after her death... I wasn't expecting THIS story. I couldn't put this down. This was PHENOMENAL! One of my favorite books of the year easily.

EXCUSE ME?! 👀 This is one of the best books I've ever read. I love dystopian fiction and this was LEVELS above anything I've ever read. I don't know that I'll ever be done processing this (in the best way possible)

Couldn't read this before bed *shivers* 😳 this is so creepy! That ending was not what expected and WAY more dark than what I was expecting. Honestly, I liked it.
