This book SHOOK me! I was riveted from the beginning to the end, and I was frustrated every time I had to put the book down! I cringed throughout as the author made such incisive points about American society, and I was in awe at the breadth of the topics that he was able incorporate in this novel.

Anthem by Noah Hawley is a dystopian look at post-pandemic America set just a couple years in the future. It explores the mental health of teenagers and how they have been impacted by all the decisions of adults. It also has a commentary throughout around the climate crisis and what we have done to our Earth.
-
I highly recommend this to anyone ready to take on a very dark commentary about America. The book is full of triggers, though, so please tread carefully if that is of concern!
