WOW. Just wow. My first five star review of 2023. I absolutely LOVED this book. I sincerely hope there will be a sequel, because I cannot get enough of our heroine.
So many parts of this book gave me chills because it is far too realistic in what “could be,” particularly in how it grapples with many social issues of our current America. It is by far the most realistic, and not at all Sci Fi, dystopian type book I have ever read. Yet, Stella still reminds me of so many many female main characters I loved in books like The Hunger Games and Divergent.
I cannot recommend this book enough - for young women, especially, but also for anyone who holds women in their hearts.
