I really didn't know what to expect when starting this book, but damn, it was not that. 

I haven't been hit with a plot twist so hard in a really long time. I can't really say too much in fear of spoiling the story, but I really was taken by surprise. 

The summary kind of plays it as a hugely romantic book, but it really isn't. Yeah, there's some romance, but it doesn't take precedence over the entire story, which I really liked.

It raises lots of questions about what you would so in the quiet at the end of the world. 

It's a very diverse book and I really loved that. The main character is bi, Shen is Asian and deaf in one ear. Maya is bi and her love interest is a trans guy. So much beautiful diversity!

I can't say much else, so this is a short review. I definitely recommend picking this one up!!
