This was has been sitting on my tbr since it came out practically. Finally decided to read it and now I almost wish it stayed on my tbr since I feel disappointed by it.
The wold-building was lacking and I didn't feel any of the characters, the sisters felt very one-dimensional and... yeah. I'm just... sigh.

won't even lie, reading the first half of this was like trying to understand my professor explaining a complicated but interesting material to me in light speed. i was trying to make sense of how cee and kasey's timeline entwine. the second it hits that second half, though... it was like vine booms playing in my head constantly because WHAT THE FUCK.

A Sci-Fiction set at a time the earth is becoming inhabitable because of the destruction by humanity. The relationship of two teen sisters is at the centre of the story as it grapples with the question of who deserves to be saved. 

This was a book I couldn’t put down.  The story pulled me along with the characters grappling with their situation and the way it unfolded. It’s not going to answer everything for but challenge your thinking.

The world building in this book was absolutely incredible and very well-written. The characters were pretty ok as well but I had a hard time connecting with them.

I also enjoyed the themes in this book and how much it addressed global warming and environmental issues.

Unfortunately the writing style and plot just wasn’t it for me. I might have to reread some parts and come back to edit this at another time bc it took me so long to figure out the changing perspectives which kept me confused for more than half the book
