3.5/5. all around very good. I think more could've been done to show how devastating and difficult a secret like Remy's really was. a thoughtful novella

Suspenseful, reflective, and moving, Stewart's coming-of-age novel is jam packed with ideological doubts and hidden schemes.
Remy does not question her world until her only tether to it dies.
Is the world truly filled with poison? Or is it still inhabitable? Will peace come?
I had doubts just like she.
The action moved it along at a heart-racing beat. Remy's mission had me biting my nails the whole way through. The hope which exists in this story is fragile, but it remains.

Simplistic YA-seeming story with an obvious, telegraphed ending.

A novella with a great premise, not your average end-of-the-world book.
A religious sect, a submarine, and the last nuclear missile on earth. These are the ingredients for a ripping yarn.
Enjoyed the read.
