A very confusing book. 📕
Lucy moves to Colorado after her brother Mikey moved there a few years ago. After Mikey’s death she seeks out the woman he loved, Helen. I really disliked both Lucy and Helen as characters, as they seemed very hopeless and irritable. There is a big disparity between the rich and the working class in this book and a focus on pharmaceuticals as a solution to anything.
The book has a dream like quality that I personally found difficult to follow. I enjoy speculative fiction and books with a climate change theme, but this one did not grab me.
Others did enjoy it quite a bit, though, so maybe it’s just not for me.
Thanks to NetGalley and Tin House for the ARC. Book to be published June 3, 2025.
