I haven't read much climate change dystopian fiction recently, although I used to read it a lot. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and the world that the author built. It felt unique in that it delved into the transition between the climate crisis and recovery. The story raised important questions about responsibility, family, and priorities. I tend to like books that switch character perspectives every few chapters, and this was no exception. 

However, there were a few elements that I didn't love. The eating disorder focus for one of the main characters felt entirely unnecessary. At the beginning of the book, the flashbacks and school report helped a lot in providing background, but by the end, I really just wanted to get back to the story. At times the narrative about the past felt like overkill and some of the climate change commentary was repetitive (it was already being shown so thoroughly in the story that the telling part was unneeded).  Most of the action in the book doesn't happen until the very end, then wraps up pretty quickly and in a predictable way. 

Despite these criticisms, I thought this was a unique and interesting book with concepts and predictions about the future that I'll likely keep thinking about for a while to come.
