I don't usually go for magical realism, but I really enjoyed this one.
Really wanted to enjoy this but it's so bland and boring. Making myself continue feels like punishing myself.

I received a digital ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I'm really torn. On the one hand, I was engrossed from start to finish, and on the whole this is an interesting look at how trying to build a utopia in a time of climate change can quickly devolve into eugenics. What the book needed, I think, was at least a hundred more pages. It wrapped up far too quickly and too easily. I'm infuriated by the end but I enjoyed the ride.
