The future is blue - endless blue...except for a few small places that float across the hot, drowned world left behind by long-gone fossil fuel-guzzlers. One of those patches is a magical place called Garbagetown.
Tetley Abednego is the most beloved girl in Garbagetown, but she’s the only one who knows it. She’s the only one who knows a lot of things: that Garbagetown is the most wonderful place in the world, that it’s full of hope, that you can love someone and 66% hate them all at the same time.
But Earth is a terrible mess, hope is a fragile thing, and a lot of people are very angry with her. Then Tetley discovers a new friend, a terrible secret, and more to her world than she ever expected.

like the premise

The narrator is perfect. The story is soul-smashingly perfect. The pacing and the language and the poetry of this book is hatefully, perfectly perfect.
If you’re worried that it isn’t worth a whole credit for a short novella, you’re wrong. The Past Is Red is worth a hundred million billion credits. Spend one, get this book. Listen to it. ACTUALLY listen to it.
If, by the end, you haven’t fallen in Love a dozen times, if you haven’t cried and laughed and felt ashamed and alone and alive…
…you’re probably a F**ckwit.
X Life Before Tetley X
The most perfectly perfect book a F**kwit could ever want.

Could not finish the last hour and something. This world is already so broken a world without hope…
