Sudden Appearance of Hope

Meh.The premise was interesting--but the main character had the SAME revelations about "what it means to truly define yourself when no one else can" over and over. Then other characters would say them to her, just to make the point?

And did I really spend however-many-hundred pages to learn that human relationships are messy but they are a basic human need? Kinda think I already knew that?

Social media sharpens the knives already available to traditional media to tell us why we specifically aren't good enough how we specifically would benefit from a new haircut, watch, cologne, etc. Hmmm. OK.

There's a cool SF thriller buried inside this book that is rather deflated by pacing issues. Still recommended, but with reservations.
