first book of the year

Illuminae
by amie kaufman  and jay kristoff

This was not per my norm of books for me. This is a science fiction, about a computer that makes decisions for the human race. This starts of very high schoolish about a girl braking up with her boyfriend the end of the world happens as bombs start falling from the sky and they somehow end up together fighting for their lives. They make it to a base that help them escape earth but on separate ships. One was hurt the other was fine. as the story progresses you get a sense that something is not adding up that maybe someone or something is messing with the files. Katie is one of the main characters that is upset and broke up with Azera he is on the alexander and ha been promoted to a fighter in the ship. he will be flying and fighting off the Lincoln (which is the bad "guys" that attacked earth). spoiler alert  Azera dies right here but you don't know it he actually died defending the ships against the enemy. however Aiden the computer uses Katie's feelings to intercept emails between her and Azera allowing Aiden to trap her into his plan to save the human race and to lead her to her death. I will not say how this part actually plays out but I have to say for being out of my normal reading list I enjoyed the book !! I would not recommend this to young kids or teenagers under the age of 15 as the language in the book is harsh.
