As Cat would say, "Hold on to your undies, kids!"

Thank you so much to Allen and Unwin for sending me a review copy!

This was SO good. I never do reviews like this, but I think the best way to sum up this book is through the AMAZING cast of characters AKA Squad 312.

Tyler --> squad leader, golden boy, "captain hotness" with a heart of gold, Scarlett's twin.
Auri --> biracial (she's Irish & Chinese!), woke up with weird powers after being frozen for 200 years......as you do.
Scarlett --> Tyler's twin, sarcastic queen, sweet-talker and serial dater with who knows how many ex boyfriends (we stan, you get that d, girl lol)
Cat --> Tattooed, tomboy badass who may or may not be in love with captain hotness, also is a queen of sarcasm
Fin --> disabled, hilarious and bi?? pan?? It's not explicitly stated but he's definitely queer!
Kal --> sexy elf alien with purple eyes and silver hair. YES PLEASE.
Zila --> the smartest person alive...possibly in the whole universe??? She's also black and barely says anything, but when she does, my brain explodes.

Basically, this book was hilarious, action-packed and emotional while also having parallels to our world with themes of displaced people and refugees as a result of war.

HIGHLY recommend you pick this up when it comes out (May 6!!!!!). You don't want to miss this one!
