I don’t like sci-fi much but this book ended up in my library.. and so I gave it a chance. At first I really hated it but by the end I loved the commentary on relationships and commitment and disillusionment. I loved the ending so much. It felt so right for everyone.

I love the ending

The idea behind the book has a fair amount of potential and it might have been a good book were it not for the characters. For the story to work the chatacters were made to be dim, extremely naive and for no apparent reason secretive. Sometimes said some profound things which made them even more inconsistent with the story.
The story wouldn’t work if the characters weren’t stupid and that is incredibly annoying.

Story idea has potential. Badly constructed characters.

The concept drives the narrative here and introduces fundamental questions and relatable conundrums that all endowed couples deal with. Amidst the backdrop of future society coupled with an ongoing existential threat this novel explores the human psyche in depth and challenges the audience to question how well we know each other and ourselves.

Psychological tapestry between 2 character's makes for a gritty piece.

As I listened to this book I was holding out hope that the end was going to have some big climatic conclusion. Instead it’s boring and by the time your half way through the book you already know what the twist is. The characters are boring and so surface level. I disliked them all. Would not recommend.

Boring, with a terrible ending
