A hard read because of the possibility of such a harsh future becoming a reality. But beautifully written and somehow hopeful despite its grimness.

This book broke my heart into a million tiny pieces so many times. It's just so sad and yet incredibly beautiful. It gets love so right: among humans in its different forms and towards nature.
There's so much more to say about it but right now I'll say it's become one of my favorite books.

Very relatable characters. Living life with a cause. Indomitable spirit. Overcoming hardship/trauma. Finding hope amidst anguish.
