Aina and Whitney are exiled to an island for a crime they have committed and they are held there by the need to take pills every eight hours for survival.
This was an eerie dystopian book, and I couldn’t put it down. It was simultaneously a slow build, but also compelling as details of their world and their crime were revealed.
