An amazing dystopian novel! Really interesting to have one set in the UK, I think it made it so much more tense and sucked me in as it mentioned places I have not only been to but currently live. The characters are classicly flawed never-asked-or-wanted-to-be main characters in their own ways, and the dynamics are great. Never tire of a queer relationship that doesn't revolve around the "horror" of being queer.

Wow what an incredible story this was. And a Debut Novel, no less? I hope Emily will write another (many) book some day. I do believe she has just made it into my auto-buy authors list.
The story was great, really interesting take on a dystopian world. It kept me wanting to go back to the book to read on. It was full of enigma, twists and turns along the way. So enjoyable from start to finish. A solid 4.5 stars.
Congratulations to Emily on an amazing debut novel. 👏

Absolutely brilliant read! 👏 5 🌟 🌟
This book gave me fallout vibes and I did not expect all of the twists. I would love a second book to this to find out a bit more! Maybe what happened afterwards? (I don't want to give any spoilers away 😂)

This book was a rollercoaster of personal development with diverse characters at the centre of it. There were twists and turns that kept me hooked all the way through. A brilliant debut novel. I would love to see a sequel to this.
