Why read it?
1 author picked The Informationist as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Itās been a while since I read this book, but I remember thinking every place described felt real.

She can become anybody. (Content warning ā contains strong language)
From Julie's list on sassy or determined female leads.
