ugh i LOVED this it did something to me.

i think listening as an audiobook actually really added to the experience since the narrators were amazing and just added to the contrasting realities of the main characters and the upper echelons of society, they all reflected their characters so perfectly.

the contrast between hope and the cruel reality was devastating and i don't know to describe it in a way that actually puts it into fitting words.

A moving story in and Apocalyptic future dealing with the ravages of climate change and water shortages and still entrenched racism and the struggle of BIPOC, LGBTQ, especially transgender and non binary ... Am amazing story but be aware this story includes all the trigger warnings... No, not all of them but very many because apocalypse brings out lots of horrors. But that said the support given by friends and those in the book throughout all the issues, panics attacks  , sickness, deaths, assaults, and other attacks and traumas are acts of love.  uplifting and bring hope
