To be human doesn't have a set definition, and I love that.

I... don't know how to feel about this. This was like a mix of Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and NK Jemisin in terms of concepts, but with none of the genius of either of those references. 
It felt a bit preachy, which I'm sure it hits different if that's what you need to hear, but it kind of felt lazy. Like the author had this great idea and wrote it all down as a draft to edit, except she never went through the draft again because she never actually fleshed anything or anyone out. 
Didn't hate it, but I don't know.. Quite disappointed.

I feel bad saying this but even though this memoir wasn't bad, her life was awfully easy, all things considered. And it ended up kinda just feeling like reading a story with 0 stakes.

This book made me feel like I was missing something, except it was definitely the book that was lacking. Feel like this could've gone so much deeper, and had such interesting discussions but it just kind of felt empty.

Also, horrible audiobook, wouldn't recommend.

Why did no one tell me this was so cute and feel good? It's making me start my day in a wonderful mood.

Firstly, the writing was genuinely gorgeous. I especially loved the first chapter in terms of writing.
My feelings otherwise:
First 50%: Jeez this guy is an ick, made me want to stop a couple times
Second 50%: She's irritating, and now I just feel sorry for him. 

I need this physically right now to reread it and highlight and study this.
