At this point I'm quite convinced the sapphics are incapable of writing bad stories, because this was just so beautiful that I wish a lot more people knew about it. While it took me some time to get used to the writing, I loved just how thoughtful and reflective the tone was. The mental health representation here is spot on and I found myself relating to Avery's struggles with her depression,  religious trauma, and queerness. The characters here are so well-realized and feel very grounded that I would've loved to be part of their bunker group even if the world was facing its inevitable ending. I thought this would just be a 4-star read but that ending was so beautiful and heartfelt that I had to bump it up a bit. Highly recommend this one!
