This book was really good and I loved how strong Tierney was and how determined she was to dismantle the patriarchy (if that’s the right word) however I wasn’t really happy with the whole ryker being her savior plot. Her whole life she’s been learning survival tactics from her dad and you’re telling me she almost died bc she stepped off the path to pee?? It’s pretty clear that if it weren’t for ryker and her dads deal she would’ve been dead pretty early on and that really bothered me. However I did like the romance between them, tho it was a bit out of character for her to leave her whole family for him and risk her sisters lives, and was devastated when he died. My favorite part of the book though was when she came back to the county and started to notice all the women that were ready for a change and had been meeting on the side. I loved how she started to notice different small things in each of the women of the county that showed they were Allies and were in this together. Last but not least I hated the ending. You’re telling me we went through all of that and didn’t even get to see an inch of change??? She literally said in the end that her daughter would change everything like girl you’re really gonna wait for a whole other generation😭 it just seemed to out of character especially since she was so headstrong and ready to tear down the corrupt gov. I just wish we got to see her tell the county the truth about everything or maybe got to see more of what the women do at those meetings.
