I'm having a hard time powering through this. I just wish it had more "meat on it's bones" - the premise and setting and character tropes are all right up my alley, but the implementation lacks... substance and flavor.

Well, that was a curveball. And a sharp bend in the arc. My interest is suddenly piqued. But I let my opinions from the first 75% stand

Halfway through this and I still don't really feel like the characters have much dimension, I'm getting tired of being authorsplained [lectured on topics I know very, very well], and I'm ready for the plot to get moving. I do however like how the narrative is centered on women's experiences, that's a glorious breath of much needed fresh air.

Did I just get hit in the head twice with The Moral Of The Story stick?

Forgot to mention I'm reading this for the Beyond Reality group read.

12.7% into this thing and I can see why it was an NYT bestseller. So far, it feels like a milquetoast combination of a faded copy of Neuromancer meets "Three Robots" from the Netflix series "Love, ,Sex and Robots". I like the economy of action and world description; but the economy of character description feels sparse rather than eloquent.
