Review Quotes: ★ "A gutsy debut that will leave readers wanting more." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review
★ "Messy human emotions strain against technology and morality in this high-stakes story packed with slow-burn pining and plentiful tension, enriched by skillful worldbuilding and nods to Henry David Thoreau's Walden." --Publishers Weekly, starred review ★ "A masterpiece of speculative, postapocalyptic fiction that demands to be devoured in a night or two, this is a white-knuckle ride into the future that is both moving and frightening. If Octavia E. Butler's Parable of the Sower were written for teens, it might look like Tew's debut." --School Library Journal, starred review "A simple, sweet romance with dystopian flavor and a hopeful ending that is perfect for genre beginners." --Booklist "Dynamic, vivid, and electrifying." --AYANA GRAY, New York Times bestselling author of Beasts of Prey"Jill Tew paints a world so real you could step straight into it.
