This is going to blow everyone away.
I was lucky enough to read this early, hunched under blankets and muttering "holy shit holy shit" over and over again as I did. Where Spark lit the flame, Show blows everything wide open.

I finished this book reeling, bursting with emotions and ready to read it again and recommend it to everyone I know. Elle is neurodivergent herself and that knowledge and understanding seeps through into every element of this book. The protagonist, Cora is autistic and her best friend has ADHD.

This is MAGNIFICENT. I’ve cried; I’ve been angry; I’ve been shocked. Cora is SUCH a magnificent main character and this whole premise is FASCINATING. How grief can change how we might think and feel; how science can be our best friend abc our downfall. Man, what a kick in the face. Something Elle does so magnificently is talk about what makes us human, and this book hits the nail on the head.
The raw emotion in this book is so powerful!
Elle is just phenomenal!

Review in progress!
Full of feeling, I’ve never felt for a book like this before. Through AI, digital doubles & challenging us to question the ever-blurring boundaries between what is really real, this story is unflinching, unapologetic & ultimately human.
