The book is very sensual and pleasure focussed which stands in contrast to the dying world around them.
The book was a little bit too dark and gross for me at times but that is to be expected from a dystopian book

It’s not as bad as the content warnings might suggest but it tries to be for brief moments. Is this why Ron Charles hated this book? I enjoyed it
