I really liked this one, almost 5 stars from me. The world is very interesting, and it leaves me wanting more to understand how it all works. That is not the point though; the author leans into the human reaction to the circumstances and it is devastating. Would recommend to dystopian fans and emotional people looking to get into their feelings.
Moderate: Body horror, Confinement, Death, Panic attacks/disorders, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, Terminal illness, Police brutality, Dementia, Grief, Death of parent, and Abandonment

Really interesting concept, and quite well executed. The tension on the book is at some points almost unbearable; but I think it is mostly because of the expectations of the genre made me wait for things to go wrong at every turn. Great characters, and the narrative-within-the narrative was really clever. The ending was intriguing and left me thinking about all the implications of this universe
Graphic: Confinement
Moderate: Body horror, Death, Infidelity, Panic attacks/disorders, Police brutality, and Grief
