![]() There seemed to be moments where there was a lot more action than you would normally see in this kind of book. And I think this feeling is why I didn’t care as much about some of the characters while I was listening to the book in Audible. I think this book was probably written mostly for a lot younger reader than the books I’m used to reading in YA, so I felt like there were some situations that seemed a little too unbelievable to me. She has to go through a pretty traumatic discovery of betrayal by the one person she truly cares about, and she has to try and learn to accept herself for what she is. I listened to this book pretty quickly and I thought it was cute! I think the best part about this book was following along with Mila as she discovered what she truly is. The way it ends I'd say yes.but I'm not sure I would be jumping on a sequel. ![]() ![]() Do you think MILA 2.0 needs a follow-up book?

She passed a narrow window, and the fiber-filled light illuminated her face. His gaze caught on one woman in particular, keeping a bit apart from the others, her gaze on nothing in particular, her thoughts apparently wandering. A group of workers passed him going the other direction, chatting and interacting. More machines had needed attention, and he’d rushed down the corridor to see to them. He’d finished maintenance on a parawind ring spinner with only moments to spare before the arrival of the first shift of workers. He saw her for only a moment, a chance encounter. Yet on an autumn day, as he walked the length of a nearly windowless stretch of hallway, Ian crossed paths with an angel. Within the dark confines of their daily prison, they worked and collected their pay with no expectation of joy. The factory offered the poor an income but precious little else. The thick air rang with the aggressive crash of machinery and the unending din of voices. ![]() Ian O’Connor spent his days in the corridors of purgatory itself. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But Lexi's dad-who also happens to be her coach and lead instructor at school-has different ideas about his daughter's new friends and talent.
