I loved the premise and execution of this story. The writing was good. There were a few spots where I had to suspend my disbelief, but overall I really enjoyed this book.

dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

stayed up late finishing the last half. gorgeous cover, i’m just realizing now what it represents lol. i enjoyed the author’s memoir and was surprised to see that she had a novel out recently. 

dark and dystopian af. i didn’t really
know what it meant to be a climate refugee before. bleak look into what our cities could look like when it becomes inhabitable. the rich living in their own space shuttle is reminiscent of the recent blue origin fiasco. white feminism at it again. my first climate fiction novel, damn it’s too real 😔😔

wasn’t the most amazing-est book i’ve read but it was a nice fast moving escape of a story. multiple character POVs were fun

So yeah, it's wish fulfillment/a morality play, but I still really enjoyed this one. Works for me.

A fast read, the pace was really propulsive. But, with that, some nuance that I would have enjoyed was missing. Really looking forward to the sequel.

An engrossing near future dystopia wrapped in utopic mauve linen.

A study on freedom, power, class, and feminism where morality is oh so grey (or is it simply inconvenient in desperate times?). 

A harrowing what-if of the next 50 years of the perilous socio-economic and ecological corner we've backed ourselves into.

I really struggled with the narration in the book, but the stories of the individual characters and their choices were compelling for me. Lots of parallels to our current world; good food for thought.
