This story wasn't for me. I found it boring and I did not bond with the main character. It was a struggle for me to pick up and keep reading. There were a few interesting parts here and there but nothing spectacular. I was expecting so much more but was quite disappointed.
Perhaps it's morose of me to see so much of myself in the character of Lydia. Constantly tormented by the what if's of a life out of her own reach, unable to make peace with her own self. Struggling so hard against becoming who she is. Consuming other's lives (and by this I mean watching their behavoirs both in life and through video) and being wholly unable to understand what they feel like. Only truly being able to feel when they are feelings that others created.
I mean, morose maybe. But true.
