Loved it, not as much as Our Wives Under The Sea, but it definitely was equally as haunting. I adore her writing style, period. She's so clever and confident in her prose. I admit it was a bit slow at times, and 3 POVs + even "city's", Jude's and Stephanie's POVs at times were a bit too much for me, although it flowed really well. I adored the sense of impending doom hahaha. It wasn't a nice book, it was never meant to be. Loved all the character's faults, their selfish thoughts, their traumas. Not a fan of the ending per se, feel like less would have been more in some way. But for now I'm just glad that it doesn't rain 24/7 and hope humanity gets its shit together.
