A review by jaclyncrupi
Gold Fame Citrus by Claire Vaye Watkins

3.0

Gold Fame Citrus is beautifully written and Book 1 is close to perfection. Book 2 slowed it but ended with a bang. Book 3 kind of brought it all together but books 2 and 3 were a letdown after book 1. I'm much more interested in books about the workd we live than dystopian futures, but as with Station Eleven, this book explores our humanity in the face of oblivion. I am enjoying the recent explosion of literary dystopian novels (Station Eleven, Clade, Only Ever Yours, Speak) but will always prefer stories of our time.
