The Great Transition by Nick Fuller Googins
3.0
The framework about how the climate apocalypse was averted and how activism and mutual aid created a new society was really ingenious, well done, and convincing. Unfortunately I really didn’t love the narrative, plot, and characters - it read like a YA, I didn’t feel that anyone was especially likeable, particularly the mom, and the use of an eating disorder as a plot device was really puzzling. I feel like it might have been actually well described from the character’s subjective experience but it seemed Ana-ish and anyway didn’t serve any purpose in driving plot or character.
