The book had a lot of interesting relationship dynamics, and I am a character driven reader, so I loved all that.

The field is growing and changing every day, so who knows? Maybe these things will be a reality in the not-so-distant future. Strong friendship between two girls is also a plus!

There was a lot of Teva trying to figure out how she could keep her outside life, and not become another version to be hidden away, while the new version takes over. I don't like too much of anything in a book, (except romance, there is never enough romance) and this had a good balance of elements for me.

I have no DNFs, and I believe in DNFing a book that I am not enjoying, so it actually means something.

Maybe the next book will delve into the how and the why more, but this one really focused on the Tevas trying to beat the system and retain control of their lives.
