First off - absolutely GREAT cover! It's what made me stop and look at this book in the first place!
This book was sooooo close to a 5 Star for me. I'm a Sci-Fi lover from way, way back and I'm particularly fond of books that have the MC suddenly thrust out of his comfort zone. Usually the scenario involves the break-down of civilization as we know it so I was thrilled to see the reverse here - being forced back to "our" primitive interactions with our bodies and each other.
I loved all of the characters. The 2 MCs were fully and richly characterized. The supporting characters slipped into the story naturally and seamlessly. I mean really, who could not love Audrey the POD mod!
The end, unfortunately, prevented me from giving it a 5+ Star rating. Not that it was bad, just that it ended a little bit too soon. (show spoiler)[As the group stands now, it's just too small to be viable in the long run and no indication was given that there is an organized underground of escape or a community of earlier escapees.]
