Clade | 
so-soMore cli-fi. Not bad by any means, but it does have problems.
The episodic structure through time made it difficult to connect to any of the characters.
There's a thoughtlessly ableist response to autism.
I don't know what JB's issues are around motherhood, but he's spilled them on the page.
These things I can work around: the ending I cannot (see comment under spoiler alert).
quietlycuriouskate The world is totally f*cked up but, hey, we could see it as a new beginning and look how great we humans are with our resilience and our caring for our nearest and dearest; let's give ourselves a pat on the back and hit the snooze button again. Just no! 😠 4mo
RamsFan1963 I thought I'd read this book and enjoyed it, but then I read the synopsis, and it didn't sound like the book I read. Turns out there's another book called Clade by Mark Budz. That's the one I read and thought was pretty entertaining. It's also cli-fic. 4mo
