thank you to harpercollins and netgalley for the arc! 

fable for the end of the world is the perfect combination. sapphic, dystopian, and written by ava reid? sign me up. 

this book was so engaging and one of my favorites of the last few months. i instantly became incredibly attached to the characters and both couldn’t stop reading but also didn’t want to see anything bad happen to them. i loved the characters both separately and together and was (and still am tbh) obsessed with their romance. the dystopian aspect felt very true to the genre and purposeful. i've definitely read some ya dystopians that seemed to use it more as an aesthetic than to make a point and this was in no way like that. it seemed like a terrifying but possible reality. i cannot wait for this to be released so i can yap about it even more <3

will return to it at some point
