Could not put this book down. Love a good interconnected story with references to the first book. Enough of a sequel to link to hand maids tale but a story with new characters in its own right.

I liked seeing the different between the two sisters and their views on the world based on their experience and upbringing.

crazy story, really fun to get through and try to solve everything
only things are at some points to so hard to read because of some pretty violent situations as well as a lot of triggering content 
if the content won’t trigger you absolutely read it
