The Recovery

The characters' struggles with identity and love felt very raw, which made me wonder if that was the goal or if it was a bit overwhelming.

The world-building felt so immersive and unsettling — I'm curious whether Suzanne Young envisioned this setting from the start or if it developed during writing.

Their relationship felt tender but also risky in this harsh environment. Did others see the romance as a way to humanize the dystopia or something more?
