In this sequel to The One, a near-future United Kingdom has instituted policies that greatly favor married couples who submit their relationships to AI monitoring, granting them priority access to health care, lower taxes, etc. A wide cast of characters show the consequences, intended and otherwise, including a serial killer who takes advantage of his role as a Relationship Responder to target victims. An intriguing and disturbing read.

I found this entertaining, but also unsettling as more and more book banning occurs around me. I‘m not sure how I feel about the ending.

This was a post-apocalyptic climate dystopia. For middle grade supposedly. But I'd argue for YA. It's entertaining. I'll never remember anything about it in a couple of months.
