Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read this book!
This is the story of 4 Russian immigrants who come to the US and their lives are linked through either love or friendship - although those links change as the book goes on. I never got real into this book - it seemed to have promise and there were parts that I really liked. It was intriguing to read about the perceptions of the US that these immigrants have and their reactions to their new world.
Social media plays a big part in this book as 2 of the main characters are trying to develop an app called Virtual Grave - a way to keep an online connection alive to a person that has died. Fairly creepy. But I did like some of the characters' perceptions of social media in general - how we all put on our best faces to the rest of the world and how fake that feels at the end of the day.
I just had a tough time getting into these characters and caring about what happened to them. None were real likeable.
