Only Premee Mohamed could make me appreciate a post-apocalyptic novel right now. This was a hard read in 2025 (the perils of not reading things when they came out) and also it packs such a punch for such a light book. I really want to dig into the way that speculative fiction allows her to talk about selfishness versus selflessness and what is (and is not) a part of who we are. There's a lot of there there under the book, for all that it's also a book about the world having ended who we are afterwards.
