Review
#

I read this through once, thinking it took place now. One plot point felt outlandish to me and then, reading other Goodreads reviews, I realized this is meant to take place in the very-near future: a sort of “one minute forward”, bleak Black Mirror-ish speculation. That fit the puzzle pieces together (specifically, that plot point I couldn’t quite believe), but what’s interesting is how I firmly believed every single other part of this - and just assumed it was a slice of life tale about being a 30something in this problematic landscape.

Really well-observed; beautiful structured. The art is amazing. The pacing and execution are really impeccable. I’m so impressed. Can’t wait to read more from Eleanor Davis.
