Woah, this was definitely incredible. I have heard so much praise for this book, and it definitely deserves it all. Butler is a great storyteller. She can perfectly capture emotion, confusion, and heartbreak so well. Although painful, this was incredibly entertaining due to the sci-fi nature of the story. It creates so much tension and also an acknowledgment of our past. Highly recommend!
