Prime Meridian by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

4.0

I really enjoyed this story about a girl who wants to go to mars. Set in a near future Mexico City there is perhaps a bit too much explanation of the ways in which the future is awful but oh so similar to ours. This is a minor complaint though and I was soon engaged with Amelia's attempts to navigate her shitty young-adulthood and the B-movie referencing interludes that pepper the novella. I enjoyed the strained relationships on display which I felt were wonderfully written. It reminded me a lot of After Atlas by Emma Newman which I read earlier this year and would thoroughly recommend to anyone who enjoyed this.
