Meet Harry, aspiring tech entrepreneur. He’s a would-be Steve Jobs trapped in a cubicle gig at an angel investor firm, so close and yet so far from his dreams. His marriage is foundering, his career is stalled out, and all he wants is to create an app like Uber, or Tinder, something to make real change in the world, and change his own life forever. Now meet Peter, a deeply troubled computer genius who lives in a basement apartment, chugging red wine, nursing old grudges and writing code. When Harry meets Peter, it’s both of their lives that will change, when they invent an app for murder.

Still waiting for him to grab me
Reviewed: 10-11-23
I did like this book but took me awhile to get into it. The first 3 hrs I felt like I didn't really know what was going on but after awhile it started to get into focus. The only thing is I am still waiting for that feeling that "Those who wish me dead" did to me. That book was amazing so I keep hoping there will be another one close too it. This wasn't it but I am still interested in the author. I have read four of his books and this would be my third fav. So if you like this author I do think it is worth the read but in my option it won't knock you off your socks.

I usually like John Marrs books and I did for the most part but I got confused who was who at times. Also I only really cared about two of the stories the rest I didn't really care about.

So if you heard this book is like a Black Mirror Episode they were correct. You find out a plot twist soon into the book and it changes things. I very much enjoyed this book and recommend.

This was so creepy and to close to home for women. The idea that men hate you so much that they mess with you for no other reason but you rejected them.
