The premise is awesome, and a lot of the situations that come up were well done, but the main character drove me crazy!

This was an interesting book I really liked the idea of it. Although it was almost scary and seems to be about where we are heading too. Mae was an interesting character and I liked her. I read in preparation for the movie coming out this month.
Dat ending tho!
