I really enjoyed this - great representation of being a scientist, and I loved the representation of complex morality under a powerful malevolent government. I think you would like this if you enjoyed the Chernobyl TV show.

This book was not incredibly ambitious, but it did a good job telling a small, tight story with clear themes. Definitely in the shadow of the Handmaid's tale. Enjoyable, YA vibes.

Nuclear apocalypse + depressing hotel murder mystery. Can't totally decide how much I liked it, but I did find it very engaging and I read it quickly.
