Liz Boysha writes beautifully, with focus on climate change and character-driven stories. I especially like how deeply she can describe the various feeligs the characters experience and how they are shaped by the situations they find themselves in. As this book contains two stories, I really appreaciate how they were different but at the same time sticked to the theme of the book. Dex and Jack's story was so much more painful, but just like Unlovables, it made me feel a lot of hope.
