Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book.
I'm a female electrical engineer so the technical aspects of this book were appealing. However, the female main character was initially so naive I wanted to jump into my kindle and shake some sense into her. Fortunately, she did show some growth and maturity by the end of the book. Overall, this book was just "okay' for me.
Thank you to Net Galley and the Publisher for this Advanced Readers Copy of Silicon Hearts by Robin Miyashita
This book definitely gives off futuristic vibes, but I can honestly see where it is coming from. The way that technology is advancing lately is definitely relatable to this book. I can see my young adult patrons and the younger adults in my library loving this book. Maybe older patrons would read this too, but they might not fully understand/like this book.
Silicon Hearts is a story about young up and comers in the tech world who were chosen to work at Beekor, a prestigious tech firm in Silicon Valley. The five individuals chosen are competing for three million dollars and full-time positions. They learn many lessons along the way as they navigate work, competition, and relationships and end up discovering what is really important in the end. This was an enjoyable story that had a lot of technological details in it. I liked the characters and the storyline. It did feel like it was written for younger adults. Thank you to NetGalley and Hyperion Avenue for the ARC.
This was a fun read.
There is something about tech companies and silicon valley themed books that are just all the more fun to read.
