I started this one & at first took a bit to get used to but I have to say 22% into the story & it's picked up so much
(view spoiler)[ so many questions, like why is she continuously being called Ana? so much action too. I would have went back to save my dog as well, no one left behind!

how does her grandfather have a role in all of this? (hide spoiler)]

62% (view spoiler)[
wow wow, eve is really ana. how confusing for her to have those past memories and trying to figure out who she is now. I like the concept of not treating these bots as if they aren't capable of being loved.. (hide spoiler)]

73% (view spoiler)[ what are they hiding from eve/ana?? What is faith not telling her. Surprised but at the same time not really with how faith stepped in the right her wrongs. Wasn’t necessarily her fight but she still showed up (hide spoiler)]

Forgot to take many notes while reading but at first it took me a bit to grow on it as I was listening to the audiobook BUT I have to say that ending PHEW (view spoiler)[ poor lemon and krickett… forced/ being pushed away from Eve… ugh I wish she wasn’t lied to and I truly didn’t think about her being a lifelike, but it makes sense!! I hate how she was so upset with lemon for not being told the truth. Curious to see where Ana really is tho?? (hide spoiler)]
