I loved the backdrop to this book of America in the wake of women's reproductive rights being completely controlled and is very current considering what is being discussed in some states. However I did wish it was discussed more and I wanted it to feature in all of the POVs more than it did. I loved the character of Gin I can believe someone like her existing in a world where women have hard choices to make. I felt for the daughter and I enjoyed her POV, but I found the wife and biographer ones harder to get into. The reference to the ice explorer were interesting but felt like add ons rather than actually adding to the story itself. It is an I teresting concept and I enjoyed the subject matter but more could have been explored. The ending was also a bit flat.
