As a debut novel, this one rates really well. I love the community that Flahive has created in Palm Meridan--how I can I arrange to retire there? I also like that this is something of a realistic not-quite-post-apolyptic vision of the world that is also filled with joy.
The story itself is creative. Some of the storytelling gets a little slow, but over all, there is very little that feels forced or extraneous. I would recommend this is a great summer read.

Thank you Avid Reader Press for giving me access to this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Oh. My. Gosh. This book was a RIDE, and I mean that in the best way possible! It had ups, downs, twists and turns. It was what I was expecting and not what I was expecting simultaneously. I genuinely loved every second of this book though, and honestly want MORE! The characters are hilarious and charming, the plot was steady but had surprises, and the ending just blew me away. This is a book I'm going to be thinking about long after finishing it. I'm so happy I decided to read this, and I definitely recommend it!

A lovely story as a character looks back on her life. Lots of funny moments and some heavier moments with an ending that was moving!
