Pacifica

"""A harrowing world where overpopulation is rampant and pollution stifling. The characters creep into your heart with raw, familiar issues of love, friendship, and family ties, careening you on a plot fraught with just as many twists as there are pieces of trash in the ocean. Pacifica will have you breathlessly fearing our own future.""--New York Times bestselling author Sara Raasch ""Like The Handmaid's Tale, Simmons's book serves as essential commentary on women's rights.""--Cosmopolitan.com on The Glass Arrow ""I'm clutching my mangled heart and smiling madly, so it's that kind of book. Such gorgeous heartbreak! Smart, absorbing, and deeply human.""--New York Times bestselling author Laini Taylor on Metaltown ""A compelling, inspiring read. The characters had me rooting for rebels, fights worth fighting, and girls with gumption. By the time it was over, I had my fist in the air.""--New York Times bestselling author Kendare Blake on Metaltown ""Simmons (Article 5, 2012; Metaltown, 2016) excels at dystopian fiction, and her admirable latest takes to the sea. ...A breathtaking story full of high-seas adventure, power struggles, romance, betrayal, and more... Simmons' great-grandmother was taken to a Japanese internment camp during WWII, and her experiences influence those of Marin and the pirates. ...Non-stop action and surprises will keep readers enthralled through both rough waters and smooth sailing alike.""--Booklist, starred"
