The Great Undoing by Sharlene Allsopp
4.0

I enjoyed the dystopian vibes of this book, and whilst in the end I enjoyed it, I wish there was more substance in the just before now, and now sections of this narrative. Much of the first half was tied up in the long before, and reminiscing on memories with Dylan, which I struggled to connect with. When we finally got to the meat of what was happening, the escape, and the motif... I felt like the details were glossed over quickly and I was left with more questions than answers.

I know this is probably reflective of the genre and the style - during the long moments of waiting, there is more to reflect on than action. During the now is where the story ended. But still, I wanted more.
