So far I am not loving the book. Perhaps I just don't enjoy this genre? Mostly the overwrought descriptions of the central characters inspire eyerolls more than interest...

...finally finished this. It's not a terrible book, but it's not my cup of tea, and the main characters are pretty simple caricatures, which was disappointing, especially since I'd heard the female protagonist was really interesting. Goth-girl-hacker-with-a-troubled-past would be just fine if it were acknowledged on some level as tongue in cheek, but it ain't.
