Slow start, but it just suddenly sunk its fangs on me with the sisters’ traumas and relationship between them, with the apocalyptic world, and the weird haunting foreshadowing.
The ending was abrupt and not particularly to my liking but it made sense to the overall writing and narrative built up until then.
I’m in love with the authors writing and characterisation. This is my second from her and I’ll definitely pick up whatever she writes next.

beautiful writing, insane ending…jaw on the floor 
dark tense slow-paced

While Armfield’s signature blend of slice-of-life with sci-fi is what drew me back to her work, the tense dynamic among these three sisters would have been enough to carry the novel on its own. I felt like the apocalyptic setting/end was too jarring and detracted from an already compelling premise.
dark emotional

I’ve never read a book like this before, and I don’t know how I feel about it. I enjoyed the dystopian aspect and the relationships between the sisters, but I felt that the ending kinda came out of nowhere.
