5.0
This felt a lot like the trolley problem played out in a dystopian world. In a way it’s a philosophical thriller, if those exist, because it seems to tell the story of our earth’s potential future dystopia.
As a romance reader, it’s not the typical book to read for this genre, but I think it was important for the story to show how much humanity is getting wrecked as corporations and wealthy elite make the earth uninhabitable.
Worth every second to read, and I need to know what happens next; both for the book and to have some hope!
