The Completionist by Siobhan Adcock
3.0
Rating: 3.5/5
This was a good book. A dystopian look into the not-so-distant future, it follows a Marine suffering from PTSD who is searching for his sister who disappeared while working for a quasi-legal clinic helping women get through the draconian motherhood requirements placed on them by a society with declining fertility rates. Bleak, though somehow also uplifting, this book is a well-written and quick read that keeps the reader turning pages until the end. The issues it raises are a bit vague, but it also makes you think, which is something I like in a book.
