However, this is a classic case of 'I really enjoyed the premise but I could have done without the romance.' I am not a romance reader. I appreciate the LGBTQ+ representation, but I think it was more to do with Chance's age, I just felt very... Uncomfortable. It would serve to being more of a YA book to me than an adult dystopian. If it was Chance's mum in the relationship, I wouldn't have felt so cringe. I have to admit, I skipped past those parts. Chance just came across too young for me to believe and appreciate those parts.
Great concept and execution; the flowery prose and writing style reminds me of Sophie Mackintosh. But, overall, it wasn't for me.

It has really stuck in my head for days after, the characterisation, the location description and the utterly unexpected love story in the middle. Incredibly through provoking and visceral. The almost stream of consciousness writing style took a while to get into, then I flew through the book.
Loses points as I didn’t like the end at all. But that’s me and doesn’t detract from the utter necessity of people to read it, and do everything we can to avoid the future it imagines.
