I love a good dystopian and this kept me awake all night. I actually read it in one sitting I just couldn’t put it down.

So it’s 2195 and GreenCorps control everything in SoCal. Even the amount of water available and therefore the cost as well. They keep the population weak and down so they have no will to fight back.
Today’s trash is their treasure and Elsa scavenges to survive.

Life is unbelievably bleak with no trace of hope. Until Elsa finds a metal tube. She knows it’s important and despite being desperate she resists the urge to sell it.

I found myself totally swept up in this. The world, characters and story. It’s an absolutely fabulous book and gets a very rare 5* from me.

I voluntarily read a review copy kindly provided by the publisher and NetGalley.

I absolutely enjoyed this story and can’t wait for more! It is engaging, thoughtful, gritty, and well-written!
