I found this story was an ambitious attempt to explore both grief and technology, using AI uploads.
This is all told by four different narrators grappling with a teen’s tragic death.
The premise really hooked me at first, but as I kept reading, I found the story started to feel a bit scattered, and also the characters seemed more like abstract ideas rather than real, relatable people.
Instead of delivering a smooth, emotionally engaging narrative, the book came off as a bit showcasey with ideas that never quite came together.
While I was really excited by the clever idea behind it, I kinda wished it had been bit more cohesive and down-to-earth.
Thank you so much to NetGalley & Knopf, Pantheon, Vintage, and Anchor
