Upon starting to read this short story, I thought the concept was brilliant. Over-population. Orbital farming. Reducing methane and therefore greenhouse gases. Genius. As a scientist this appealed to me. But just as it started to get juicy, some underhand dealings, it ended. If this were a first chapter, I would be loving this book. But as it is a short story, it felt unfinished and left me disappointed.

This is the first book by this author that I've read and I was gripped by the first chapter. This is the first book in this series by this author. This story has a great mystery story line which kept me guessing till the end. This book has amazing characters, both strong leads. I can't wait to read more from this series and this author in the future.
Highly recommended
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

perseverance got me to chapter 15 but I genuinely can't go any further. worst w
book ive read in reads. I never normally speak badly of a book so you can see how bad this book must be.... all I kept thinking was blah blah blah..

I didn't even skip to the end for the final chapters to see how it ended because I really didn't care! just glad its a library book and I didn't waste any money on it!

I don't remember a lot about this book in all honesty, I read it when I was about 13 I reckon. All I know is I attempted to start this about 5 times over before I finally managed to make it past the first chapter.

I loved loved loved this book! Wow!
I listened to the audiobook continuously from start to finish with barely any breaks! Each chapter examines a different patient and/or situation Stephen Grosz has seen as a practicing psychoanalyst. Some stories are relatable, some are insightful, and some are sad. I can't wait to recommend this book to everyone I know!
