pickA bleak, claustrophobic read that I really enjoyed. Lots of unanswered questions, this left me with a lot of questions about the world it‘s written in. Would recommend.
Plus my #bookspinbingo board for July! Some BIG reads coming up this month 😳
pickAina and Whitney are nearing parole. After 12 years of living alone on a remote island, they have paid their debt to society and await the Warden's reprieve. But, on the annointed day, he doesn't show up.
Stark and dystopian, this novel uncovers the couple's responses to their situation as well as flashing back to their history and how it led them to this forsaken island. An engaging read...
pickAina and Whitney are serving out a prison sentence on an island, trapped there by the need to take pills from a machine every 8 hours. Parole is imminent after 12 years but they differ in how they should approach this.
As an apocalyptic novel I‘m not sure this quite worked for me. The island setting was creepily claustrophobic and the pill construct was clever but it meant we didn‘t learn anything about what had happened in the wider ⬇️
