I enjoyed the premise of this book. I liked how, instead of focusing on the country/world, we were watching two communities. I would have given this book 3-stars (“I liked it”) but took a half off for the frequent use of f***k and a few short sex scenes. They didn’t add to the story.

This was a fun, quick read that should have been twice as long. There were time jumps that encapsulated a lot of story progression that should have been explored in more detail, foreshadowing for things that never actually came to pass, and characters that deserved a lot more attention than they got. That being said, I’m not mad at the time I spent with this book; I’m just disappointed that it felt kind of incomplete.
