This was very emotional to read. It encompasses sensitive topics such as climate change, racism, discrimination., loss and grief. 

This is a story of two generations pitted against each other- one a sacrificial lamb to a world that is not ready and the other a saviour for a world that doesn’t care. There was so much going on in the book. On the one hand Cora’s past and the other Corinne’s present.

I like that the author highlighted Cora’s experiences as a child and the disparity between Corinne and the other protesters.

Although I enjoyed this but I was expecting more than I got and could hardly believe the book ended where it did.

I received an advanced copy and the review is mine and voluntary
