A clever, thrilling YA about two sisters searching for each other and for truth, against a backdrop of environmental disaster.

Holy Mother of Zeus, I am going to be thinking about this book until it comes out and again when I read the finished copy.
This was definitely out of my usual comfort zone reading. I am picky with my books and even more so with ARCs that I hope to get but this one blew me away.
Joan He tells the story so masterfully: two sisters, worlds apart as well as secrets, memories, technology, disasters, a lot of which reflects, in a sense, today's world, or perhaps, the world we are heading into if we don't do something about our actions.
But that is a topic of discussion for another day.
I loved Celia, or Cee as she is called as well. But I also loved Kasey. I really loved the contrast between the two but still, they fit together like puzzle pieces.
I will probably be screaming about this book until and after it is published (Less than a month away! May 4th!) and people can buy it. This might become my new comfort book and it is definitely one of my favourites, despite reading only 2 other books and being in the middle of like 5.
Thank you to the published for giving an ARC
I loved Joan He's other book, and I was only slightly disappointed in this one, because I thought I would love it as well. I loved all the characters and the very different settings of the two perspectives but some of the sci-fi elements felt forced to me. I still overall had a great time reading this! Joan He is definitely an auto-buy author for me.
Thank you to Macmillan Children's Publishing Group, Roaring Brook Press, and NetGalley for providing me with an eBook copy to review.
It was so confusing to the point that I did not want to pick up this book to continue.
