Mira is a trust fund baby playing at making it on her own as a Brooklyn barista. When Benji, her tech startup boyfriend, dumps her out of the blue, she decides a little revenge vandalism is in order. Mira updates his entry on Verity, Benji’s Wikipedia-style news aggregator, to say the two have become engaged. Hours later, he shows up at her place with an engagement ring. Chalk it up to coincidence, right? Soon after, Benji’s long-vanished co-founder Chandra shows up asking for Mira’s help. She claims Verity can nudge unlikely events into really happening — even change someone’s mind. And Chandra insists that Verity — and Mira’s newly minted fiance — can’t be trusted. ---------------- In its review of the novel, NPR said, "Tremendously enjoyable, Revision is a fluid, flexible, wonderfully dextrous debut, and I can't wait to see what Phillips does next." In a starred review, Publisher's Weekly called Revision a "terrific SF debut." It said “Phillips poses hard questions about love, loyalty, personal identity, and truth, and her answers range from fascinating to horrifying,” and that “her fresh voice will be very welcome in the SF world.”

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Imaginative, well written and fun. By Kristian Thoroughgood This was an interesting story, great premise, well written. My usual scifi stories are generally heavily plot driven, frequently action oriented. This book sits on the other end of this scale and is an excellent example of a character-driven novel. There is action, but rather than being the focus it serves to advance the drama, and to affect the protagonist Mira and her relationships. The emphasis here is on Mira’s emotions and her connections and interactions with others, and it is done very well.Revision is imaginative, well written and fun.Full review here: https://uncertaintales.wordpress.com/2015/02/13/book-review-revision-andrea-phillips/
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Fun and Interesting! (I apparently like the word interesting) By Torii Gardiner This was an interesting read for me. I love the concept of this book, and I love the rules and world building around it.This book is very character driven rather than plot driven. We follow Mira through all of her decisions, and the writing behind those was quite clever (you'll understand if you read the book-- I don't want to spoil anything for you.) I enjoyed the plot quite a lot, but I had a hard time really liking Mira. Even so, I cared about her. Her age is never discussed (that I remember, it might be in the intro somewhere) but I imagine her somewhere around 22 and if that's the case she acts very much "her age". She feels like she is in that oh so wonderful stage of being utterly at a loss as to what you want your life. She's the kind of character this story needed, though. Only Mira would have made the choices that led to the amazing ending, and they were absolutely believable. I'm not sure a character I would have liked more on a personal level would have made the decisions she did. Of all the characters, I think I resonated with Joey the most which probably says a lot about how old I'm getting.For me this was a short, light, fun and interesting book. It didn't get deep into my heart, but it definitely made me think. I'm sure I will spend the next few nights dreaming about the world that this is set in, and the consequences and nudges that could befall me. There were parts of the book where I hung on every line just waiting for something insane to happen. I really enjoyed it, and I felt like it was really well written. I never felt like it was the author telling me the story, and I enjoyed the narrative of Mira talking to me.I also enjoyed that all of the characters were complex and thought out. I cared about all of the side characters, and I like that even the minor ones played a role in Mira's life enough for me to care. I would definitely suggest this book for a fun, intriguing, extremely interesting book.

By Alexander von der Linden While I have some minor quibbles with some things, this book was a solid first effort from the author, and she has definitely been placed in the "would read again" column.The main character is trying to live her own life as a 20-somethign slacker, while occasionally relying on her trust fund to keep her lights on. She doesn't get along with her parents, and hates the life that they and the rest of her family lives. I can relate to that character, which is one of the strengths of the book. Sometimes I just wanted to shake her, but I could always understand why she made the choices she did. Including the petty vandalizing of her boyfriend's Verite (quantum Wikipedia) which causes him to go from breaking up with her to proposing to her. And just like that we're off to the races. The common thread throughout the story is that the protag doesn't know what the hell she's doing. And Andrea manages to pull that off in a way that I can continue to care for and relate to the character.My quibbles are minor, as I said.1) I thought that Verite wasn't fleshed out enough. I wanted a lot more background on it and how it worked, and what could be done with it. Of course my favorite parts of Reamde by Stepenson were the wrapper parts where he talks about the MMO that the character built. That's what I wanted to see here and we didn't quite get it. But obviously the author is writing her story and not the one I see in my head.2) There's not much in the way of description of characters/places/etc. I It works well in that it keeps the prose lean and the story moving, but I would've liked descriptions as visual shorthand for the characters.Even with that, I really enjoyed this book. I'd recommend it to people who enjoyed SJ Kincaid's Insignia, Delilah Dawson's HIt, and Chuck Wendig's Atlanta Burns.
