This is by far one of my favorite books of the year. I felt the whole realm of emotion while reading this book.
I think that the main character in this book was so well crafted. I don't agree with what she did at the beginning of the book but as a mom of three small children, the stress that she was under was so relatable.
Chan did an amazing job of making this book really speak to the true nature of a mother and the struggles that we all have and I think that is why I connected to this book so much. Not to mention the representation of different kinds of mothers was so well done.
I think that the school itself was such an eerie setting and it felt like something that could really happen in the future.
If you are looking for a dystopian future book this is one I would highly recommend.
