This was another of those “what did I just read?” books. I really enjoyed it. The writing is well done. The story is well developed and yet still leaves me wondering what the heck happened?!
SpoilerI love that the epilogues ended the way they did and you’re left wondering if Mark will go through with his plan or if the allure of the perfect meal/drink will deter him. You’re left wondering which of the 3 choices Karin will take. I personally think it’s choice 3 to see what biodiversity will exist after humans are extinct.
