Thanks NetGalley for the ARC of this title. This was kind of eerie to read in the midst of COVID-19, but post-apocalyptic novels are one of my favorite genres. I struggled a bit at first with the perspective & timeline shifting from one chapter to the next. It made it difficult to grasp the bigger picture of what was happening in this new world, but ultimately I ended up enjoying the novel as a whole. This is a great read for anyone into feminist post-apocalyptic fiction. It was well-written, fast-paced, suspenseful, and intriguing.
