This story is heartbreaking in all the best ways. This Paul is three different girls, who are each struggling to survive in a horrible, post, apocalyptic world, and are struggling with her own individual journeys. The stories intertwined at a specific point, and the reveal of how they are interconnected is very well done. They all face some very tragic or deals because of discrimination, hatred for who they are and having to hide it from their community. 

it’s also a story about love and loss, at its core, and how people can make desperate attempts to save themselves and the people that they love even when things seem hopeless
