Flux

I would like to thank Melville House Publishing and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

What an ambitious debut Flux is! It is no wonder why this kept appearing on several most anticipated releases lists.

It took me awhile to warm up to this story, and even after I did, I still felt a bit detached of its main character and events.
I disliked the way the story started as I just couldn't care less about the actor and tv show he was obsessed with.
I believe the spoiler in the blurb does not help captivating the interest in the book, as it prematurely answers questions that should appear while reading , reducing the curiosity that keeps us going and wanting for more.

I loved how the storyline addresses and explores identity, family, love and grief but I've found the overall story too slow paced. I just wished I had loved everything more!

Flux is original and well written, but requires a level of focus to read it and enjoy it that my currently sleep deprived postpartum brain lacks, so take this review with a grain of salt.

Flux could have been a script for a Black Mirror episode. If you loved the show and love sci-fi, pick up this book and you won't be disappointed.
