Overall, I enjoyed this! I sometimes got confused because it kind of reads like an edited stream of consciousness; it has no chapters or page splits. I think this is a book that would be great to read in audio form. I'd consider this a slice of life book, where nothing much happens and it's all vibes/feelings, no true plot. Julieta (Juli) is still processing the grief after losing her twin sister, Ofelia (Ofe). The book is written in first person, BUT Juli is writing to Ofe, so there are many instances of "you" in the narrative. I'm not sure exactly what year it all takes place, but the world is futuristic yet still recognizable. Climate change has ravaged the planet (even more so than now). Extreme weather, really hot temperatures, endangered species becoming extinct, all the rich people gentrifying the inner city and forcing the inner city people out towards the beaches where the climate is more extreme. Oh, and AI becoming more mainstream. I loved reading about the reality TV dating shows with AI and humans, because that would totally be a thing. Most of all, though, I liked seeing Juli come back to her friends and discover her passions after a year of isolation.

Also can we just all bow down to the cover artist because that cover? She is gorgggg.

Thanks to the publisher for providing an advanced copy of this book!
