America Pacifica by Anna North

4.0

I don't even know where to begin in writing a review on this one, so I will keep it brief. I have a near-obsession with post-apocalyptic/dystopian novels right now, and this one covers that niche perfectly. I would say it definitely qualifies as literary fiction, and I would imagine sci-fi lovers would also really enjoy it. It reminded me of an adult version of the Hunger Games (obviously not with the kids fighting to the death business, but the dreariness and the poverty, etc.)

It is dark, dreary, and terrifying- in the best possible way. Up until the last few chapters, most of my imagery while reading was dark.

The ending..... well.....

This one will stay with me and haunt me, and that's a compliment.

Recommended for people who enjoy: sci-fi, The Hunger Games but wish there was a more adult-like version, dystopian novels, literary fiction
