Wow. This book is definitely a must read. I feel like it is foreshadowing a world that I do not want to live in which can actually happen if no one reads this book. Its critical, its kept me on my toes and turning pages. The book is separated into two parts with part 1 containing Alice’s mothers view and Alice’s diary entries which was a unique perspective and helped the reader understand the storyline and the underlying motives. The book is very AI critical and should be read as part of classes in schools in my opinion. I highly enjoyed reading this story in a literary perspective, in a social perspective it made me afraid of what the world might become, especially with the currently situation in the United States where the book is set. Alice Ingold was relatable, although I’m not a rich heiress, and both her and her mother were characters I rooted for. Her mothers love was truly unconditional and I can just hope my mother loves me like Catherine Ingold-Newton loves Alice Ingold in here.
