![]() I could totally imagine a government making global decisions that are harmful under the auspices of being for the greater good. ![]() Maybe its because of the current pandemic, but these outlandish reactions didn’t seem too far off. This book is so well written!! The world is unique and dark but also relatable. Abortions are mandated to keep the unfit genes from breeding. Those deemed “unfit” are forcibly sterilized, made to do hard labor, and live across the water in the slums. Those deemed worthy receive the better jobs and live in the clean part of the city. In an effort to survive, the leaders split the remaining citizens into two groups based on their strengths and weaknesses. The story begins in a gritty world divided after a pandemic destroyed almost all of the worlds population. It’s also a little unnerving to be reading a post pandemic world novel in the middle of a world wide pandemic but it also made it feel more real. ![]() ![]() The book is a cross between Shawshank and Handmaids Tale, with a little Romeo & Juliet thrown in for good measure. Gosh, this was a great book! Unfit by Karma Chesnut is un-putdownable. ![]()
