So I wasn't sure I was going to like this book.  It's very different from Libba Bray's first trilogy.  But actually the only thing I really disliked was the way she gave real products fake names.  Like she couldn't say M&Ms or Star Wars, so she made up weird substitutes. 

I also thought the ending was sad, though I don't see how it could have been any different, which is the mark of a good book!

Cameron, Dulcie, and Gonzo were brilliant, funny characters that I was happy to spend a few hours with, and Cameron's quest was fascinating.  The plot is pretty impossible to describe, but if you like funny writing and a fast-paced story, then you should like this book.
