My professor gave me her advance reader's copy on the last day of classes of the semester, but I didn't start reading it until the summer, lying by the pool and finding my mood matched the protagonist's. Fox tells the story a high school upperclassman, Biz, living with mental illness, figuring out her friendships and using photography to piece together the history of her father's suicide. Fox's language is beautiful, and she clearly enjoys crafting specific sounds and images for the reader; it did feel overwrought at times, but in a way I enjoyed reading. Some sentences were worth returning to just for that. Fox drew me into Biz's mind so well that I was totally engrossed and trusting, and I ended up learning plot points at the same rate that Biz did. That said, though the plot does move forward and didn't feel "slow" at all, we do spend a lot of time in Biz's head and in her characterization. Overall, this is a beautiful and artful book whose buildup of mood will stick with me.

I definitely read through this too quickly but I stayed thinking about it for a few days after. It’s a fun and familiar YA scifi genre involving a virtual reality video game that’s become ubiquitous. The main character’s voice was a bit hard to get into at first (maybe it felt too on-the-nose? But upon reflection, maybe that *is* realistic), but then everything started flowing soon after. I saw the twist coming early on, but that didn’t take away from the enjoyment of getting to know the characters as they grew, and Lu took care with creating a diverse set of characters that made everything even more interesting. The battle and coding scenes were really fun to read, and the book calls for a sequel.

Gave me historical facts from American Revolution that I didn't know
