Publisher's summary

From an award-winning author and master of world building....

Centuries after the Cutoff, the secluded island of Sansara has perfected the roles of women. All girls attend the Institute where they are ranked, judged, and trained, and their paths are chosen for them.

Elora’s destiny is to rise to the top. Rose wants to make her family proud. Odette dreams of finding happiness. But in a society that eats women alive one hope at a time, even dreams can turn out to be bitter fruit.

All are trapped in a system that values their appearances, not who they are. Will they be crushed by the machine that oppresses them, or will they dare to break free and live on their own terms?

Perfect for fans of The Handmaid's Tale, The Testaments, Station Eleven, The Power, and Vox, this heartbreaking tale of friendship, love, and bravery will keep you listening!

Trigger warning: This book deals with the subjects of rape and domestic abuse and may be disturbing to some listeners.

Couldn't stop listening!

This book reminded me a lot of The Handmaid's Tale. I listened to it in 3 days, it was so good! I was staying up till 2-3 am every night. Truly an enjoyable listen. I really hope there is a sequel to this book because the universe that Kate created is so interesting. Definitely recommended!

Love this dystopian love story!

Once again, Mrs. Mary has hit it out of the park! I binged this book in just a couple of days! I hope there is another one so that I can learn what happens next!

Literature masterpiece

I have to say that the storyline was full of character development and the storyline hit home on what women have faced throughout time, being treated as just servants. This was well written and made me emotionally invested. I highly recommend this story and audible.
