This is not a heartwarming and entertaining book but it's an excellent book that talks about how our future could be and how we are affecting the world around us.
It reminded me of the books set during the Great Depression: Coral, Foxglove, Summer and the other characters live in a very degraded environment but they are full of zest for life and love.
The world as we know collapsed and changed. Plastic became a commodity and a lot of places are under water.
The story is told switching between past and present, different POVs and it kept me enthralled. I was scared because I know this isn't a dystopia set in a distant future, this could be our world in 50 years.
The author is a talented storyteller and did an excellent job with character and plot development.
There's plenty of food for thought and this is an excellent speculative fiction, it's bleak but there's also hope.
A good way to look at the possible future and hope that it will be only fiction.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to MIRA and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
