The New Naturals by Gabriel Bump

3.0

I really wanted to love The New Naturals, which has such an intriguing premise. A group of people disappointed in society try to build a utopian community and forge a better future. What’s not to love about that?

Unfortunately, the execution fell a little flat for me. The characters spend much of the book journeying towards the utopia, and I was wishing for more of the details of them building it. The ending of the book also felt anticlimactic and I wish it had expanded a little more. I thought this was a great effort, but unfortunately it didn’t hit the mark for me.

Thanks to the publisher and to NetGalley for an early copy of this book.
