I was very intrigued by the premise of this book, overall I enjoyed it, but the characters don’t really stand out to me. Don’t get me wrong, I liked them, but they’re very forgettable. 
The writing was a bit too YA for me personally, but ignoring that I did enjoy the story! 
✨Love me some existential crisis while facing the extinction of humanity✨

I LOVED the way the author incorporated social media as a sort of time capsule. Lowrie coincidentally finding Maya’s name and finding her past online activity, slowly revealing more and more secrets? SO COOL!  I’m not even gonna lie, I think Maya was my favourite character
