Give me all the end of the world books! This novel was outstanding. We follow several women who are trying to survive after climate change has made the world inhabitable. Why did Earth suffer so badly? Why weren’t American citizens able to combat the effects of climate change and maintain what was theirs? Men were the problem, of course.

Jacqueline Millender’s response to the issue of toxic masculinity is to create Inside, a weather-safe, exclusive community in New York that only the best of the best women will be accepted. Inside was like a crazy episode of Black Mirror. I repeat, crazy!!! Can Jacqueline create a new and improved America in which women will rule?

Jacqueline was an evil, vindictive woman. Every time she appeared, I braced myself for whatever cruelties were going to come out of her mouth. Our other main characters, however, were entirely lovable. Rather than being angry at the ambiguity in the book’s ending, Korn’s writing filled me with hope for each of the characters (except Jacqueline�� kick rocks, bitch). 🙏 An amazing story of perseverance and standing up for what is just.
