When I was a little girl, I watched this movie and I LOVED it. So I knew when I saw there was a book, I had to read it and I'm so excited to get the rest of the series!

We follow our main characters who live in an underground city whose generator, the only source of their precious light, is dying. There were instructions on how to get out of the city, years later, but they'd been lost. We follow them along their journey towards light ✨

It's very YA but it's super cute and I love me distopian anything so 🤭 definitely recommend this as a nice, short read 🩷
