Look, did this take me more than an hour to finish? Not even close. This book, and the story which inspired it, is based on a framing mechanism that I do actually enjoy when done well: the “x before” cut scene, which gives us the ending in media res and then jumps back some time to show you how we got there. There are a few more of these coming out, to whet the appetite of the audience ahead of a longer novel that appears to focus on rival science people and the male scientist who starts being a proper ally to his female colleague. This is a very short novella, with almost 15% of length nonetheless authors notes and the like. I think I am torn as to whether it is another Girlboss or a clever form of branding).
