4.0

Celeste Ng's beautiful turns of phrase get me every time. The quality of her prose is top notch. This book was a bit stressful to read, as we have been sliding into a similar reality, and so much of it feels possible. 

I didn't connect as strongly to the characters in this one, and for a dystopian book, it's very slow and quiet. But I also couldn't put it down. 

I think the visuals this book created in my head, cats on postcards, quiet dusty places, warm backyards in summertime with a loving mother, will linger for a good long while.
