Thanks to Atria for the ARC and Book Club Favorites for the finished copy of this book!

I really loved the premise and potential of this book. The concept of knowing we have everything we need to get to net zero emissions and slow or halt climate change is so important. We’re drawn into the story of the Vargas family, getting a YA perspective from daughter Emi and a dual timeline perspective from her parents, who played pivotal roles in The Great Transition to save the planet. It ended up feeling a little too much like a slow burn thriller with the missing mother piece - and those work for a lot of people, but not for me. I also understand the role of big corporations and the rich as being more pivotal in climate change, but taking them out seemed a little extreme. While I loved the concept, I didn’t love the follow through.
