However, this was a book that I kind of stepped out of my usual comfort zone to read, I don't usually partake in sci-fi/speculative fiction/dystopian fiction books and I could definitely see someone who is a huge fan of these genres enjoying this book more than I did.
In conclusion, it's good, but it just didn't hit the way I was hoping it would for me.

McConaghy is a brilliant writer—her prose are gorgeous, and I really enjoyed the structure of this story. The slow reveal of Franny's past, and the impact it's having on her present, built the tension of the story beautifully. And McConaghy's dedication to illuminating the consequences of climate change while also wrestling with the complexities of everyday life is incredibly impressive. All of these things make her an automatic read for me!

Von mir eine klare Leseempfehlung, auch wenn ich nachvollziehe kann, wenn es evtl. dem Einzelnen, zu "Düster" ist.
