WELL
I am very torn about this book. I was IN this book at the beginning, and I remained invested because I thought the world-building was interesting and pretty vivid for a (debut?) novel. I loved the characters, and the angst.
One big hang-up and one minor one.
For the minor one - Andrews doesn't know how to use commas, unless she's intentionally omitting them. It was occasionally distracting but not a deal-breaker for me.
The major one -
If you have an issue with miscommunication tropes, STAY AWAY FROM THIS BOOK. THE ENTIRE BOOK. ENTIRE. IS NON-STOP MISCOMMUNICATION. And at the end it's still there. I usually DNF books that could be shorter, or not exist, if the leads communicated. Here, it mostly makes sense because of the FMC's trauma. But man, it was really trying.
