Holy cow! This story pulls you in! I had the pleasure of receiving this as an ARC for an honest review.
I really enjoyed the book, characters, the representation, and storyline really draw you into this book.
The story is set in the future, a dystopian world, the world is over heating and everything has dried up. Thus leaving majority of mankind to rely on the government for all basic necessities. The government has also funded a backup plan in the form of Space Station Luna to help Earth find a cure for the over heating.
This where we follow both Tea & Annabelle on Earth & the Space Station Luna, I enjoyed the dual POV, I think this adds a layer to character development & shows the difference in the lifestyles, also shows how differently the girls were raised. Tea is more our FMC, she is a strong, resilient, Latina who is only trying to find her freedom. Along her journey she learns what it is to truly care for others, pain, loss and above all what the power of love can do for everyone. I think this is a must read for anyone who loves dystopian sci-fi fantasy. The author did a fantastic job of inserting representation throughout the story, and the little twists and turns that revealed secrets throughout the story definitely hold your attention & give you some surprises along the way!
Also the ENDING!!
