The concept and the storyline makes it a really great book in my opinion. It’s post apocalyptic but anti survival. The main protagonist has no memory of before the disaster so is completely unattached to the idea of the world so has to create her own in an almost barren landscape. Poses some really interesting questions on existence.

holy shit! this was my first book of 2024, and to say it had a big impact on me would be understating the situation dramatically.
picked it up while traveling and started reading on the train back, absolutely could not put it down. i had a delightful and new experience of finding sections of prose that resonated so strongly with me, i felt compelled to just stop and reread the lines a few times in place.
the characters manage to feel both intimately real and magically unreal, in a way that makes the book feel like a dream, familiar but hazy.
fair warning that reading this book is one of a handful of things that helped me realize i was a girl, ymmv

In fact they’re working against you, especially women of colour. 84% of Tinder users are men, Bumble’s earnings have gone down hugely since its IPO (thereby further increasing their need to make a profit off subscriptions), Hinge is hiding hot people behind a paywall. People are sick of getting lovebombed and ghosted.
But we don’t need them—there’s more to life than apps—and people are beginning to seek connections in person again.
