The Poppy Fields
by Nikki Erlick
The Poppy Fields is a "grief" treatment center in the middle of the California desert. The experimental treatment they offer allows patients to go to sleep for a month, to in essence, sleep away their grief. Most patients awaken fully healed of their terrible grief, but they must agree to the possibility of an unwanted side effect that only affects a few patients.
In the story, four strangers all find themselves on the way to The Fields for varying reasons. They decide to team up and travel there together after a storm cancels their travel plans. From here we get a strangers to found family kind of trope. I loved getting to know them all and understand their stories and grief. They all seemed to really come together to help each other out. This one really explores heartache, grief and ultimately, hope. It makes you really think about what you would do in each of their situations. I didn't read The Measure, but I feel this is in the same thought provoking vein as that one was. Would definitely make for a great book club discussion.
Thank you to @williammorrow, @harperaudio and @netgalley for this ALC copy. I loved the narration and thought it was extremely well done!
