Publisher's summary

The world didn't end all at once but drip by drip...

Manon Pawlak has just turned eighteen—a debutant at the start of The Virtue Season: a process which will result in a match with a suitable genetic mate.

Her best friend, Agatha, has been decommissioned. Her seizures mean that she has been branded with a scar on the crest of her cheek which will forever sit at the corner of her vision, colouring the world in shades of mauve.

This is the story of their ritual year. And the Council is watching...

Bridgerton meets The Hunger Games with shades of The Handmaid's Tale and 1984

As romantic as it is sinister and completely binge-worthy

This is L.M. Nathan's debut YA, almost 10 years in the making and inspired by the countryside of rural Lancashire

Featuring the ever-popular BookTok tropes of #forbiddenromance, #friendstolovers and #forcedproximity

Featuring topical themes, including a woman's right to choose, a woman's right to her own body, totalitarianism and how true love endures in even the darkest of places

Too many words, too little happening

So many words that went nowhere. I felt like I was bobbing along in an endless, never-changing river while half asleep, didn't remember where I came from or where I was going. It takes so long for the author to get to the point--ANY point. And the MC is an idiot. At any rate, I gave up halfway through and just listened to a bit of each chapter till the end because it just goes on and on and on with little actually happening. Even the dialogue is boring. For instance, there's a conversation early on with the MC's mother that is endless and vague (after which the mother tries to drown herself in the sea, why at THAT particular moment, I don't know.) that boils down to: You have no choice. You will most likely be miserable so suck it up, you'll get no comfort from me.

Don't waste a credit.
