the age confusion is probably because it took the author from 21 to 27 to write the book. i def kept thinking the characters were in their early 20s. agree with the ai romance critique! also got confused on which character was speaking (pov) between billie and kris bc they were both italicized.

Your opening introduction to this book made me laugh, as it reminded me of my current read, Megan E. O’Keefe’s “The Blighted Stars” which is very definitely SciFi but has waaayyyy too many romance elements in it for my simpler tastes 😅 Very much enemies-to-checking-out-his-backside if you get my general drift 😜 As in a bit in-your-face and lacking in subtlety. But that’s all some other book so way off-topic, and much less interesting that Wholefoods on The ‘Zon! 😁 AI ‘romances’… WTF?! 🤯🤯🤯 I am heading in a much more analog direction as I age - I cannot roll my eyes harder at many aspects of modern day tech, even for a lifelong SciFi boy like myself 🤓

I know right? When I saw the podcast subject, I was like, oh, this will be interesting speculation, but apparently, there are already AI bots you can have full-on romances (including erotic elements) with! Back in Feb of last year, apparently, the one service turned off its erotic element due to a legal requirement, and all these people LOST THEIR MINDS. Wild times.
