I knew nothing about this book going in, it was a complete impulsive library pick but I loved every minute of it. It was set in a near-future setting, 2049, and the story span over the course of 10 years from the points of 2 teenagers. It was great fun watching them grow, watching their unconventional love story evolve in a world full of gene-editing, fast spreading synthetic viruses and a world in turmoil. This book was written before covid but it was scarily similar in experience (apart from the killer wasps and mutant dogs!) so some moments were an uncomfortable read but it was such a good story.
If you like dystopian novels this definitely a must read. it was action-packed but poignant with some gasp out loud moments and heart-breaking realities. I won't forget these characters in a hurry and I am so glad I picked this one up. It was both terrifying and fascinating all at the same time. Like a car crash you can't take your eyes off and you just want the victims to be okay.
