I love character-driven stories, and I really liked this book for that reason. Everyone had their own motivation that was relatable. I also have read some books in which the AI companion was just there or not compelling, and that was not the case in this book. It also helped that SoundBooth did such an awesome job with the voices and sounds. They brought their A game, and it made a huge difference in making the characters compelling especially Annie’s rendition of Elle. I plan to listen again.
