This book was... Beautiful. Haunting. Mysterious. Gripping. Fascinating. Following a surreal distopian reality, the main character must survive in a world where she's possibly one of the last 40 women alive, and then eventually the last. Hope is challenged, and the will to live and survive is explored. This entire book was... I couldn't put it down. It forced me to ask myself so many questions about my existence. The human existence. The human experience. And challenge the gift that I have been given to live out my life with purpose.
