Mcfeel“Some climate disaster fiction is in here but she does it so well and writes her characters so beautifully that the anxiety managed to be manageable. There’s some mystery, and deep deep love.”

El“Just finished this haunting, beautiful, heartbreaking audiobook. The narration brought the story to life with the voice actors changing between characters. This dystopian-like novel is captivating in it’s ability to balance reality, hope, and grief.”
