I should have DNF’d 🫠 but I felt like I owed it to the author to continue reading. This is no fault of her writing- it’s beautiful, but I was just soooo not invested in the story. It made me queasy and confused .. and honestly, I’ll never think about wooly mammoths and golden chimps the same ever again.

Started with the audio, then switched to print format. This may be weird to say, but the writing is almost visual and this is missed if you listen via audio. There are photographs woven into the book, which compliment the visual nature of the writing— it is very poetic.
The story is filled with hope for the future, but only for an elite few. One of those dystopian novels that is too believable for comfort.

Such a strange story! Oddly (appropriately) enjoyable.
