A young girl, Jane, is living with her father, who she worships, in a wilderness cabin., no technology, no internet, only her father’s phone. Eventually, the girl discovers that the father likes it this way. But, she discovers that he has a passion for writing. And he has written an anti-technology manifesto. He wants to put it on the internet, so he has to give the girl the tools to put it up for the world to see.
Her father comes up with a mission that requires him to leave the cabin. Jane volunteers to assist him, which gives her the key to escape. It turns out that her father is a terrorist, who uses her to create a distraction to a security guard so he can get inside a building and plant a bomb. Which kills the target.
They lose each other in the process. Jane is now on her own, but thanks to the knowledge she gained by posting her father’s manifesto, she’s able to get a job because of her coding skills. She even finds out that her mother, who she thought was dead, is still alive.
Then, the fun begins. The interplay of Jane’s independence, her survival skills, and her intensity, make for a great run to the final conclusion. This is not a slow book, and it will keep your interest. The audio version is prefect for a road trip-it will keep you awake.
This is not my first Janelle Brown book-see my review of Pretty Things.
