My name is Bird Howsley, and I'm a beautiful disaster. Okay, "beautiful" is probably being generous. But the "disaster" part is right. In a brutal dystopian waterworld, where survival depends on skill and smarts, I'm pretty much always one bad decision away from watching my life go completely down the drain.

Luckily, I have a lifeline: my cute, level-headed sailing teacher, Sargo Paz. Did I say cute? I didn't mean cute. He's just a friend. I definitely don't have weird sex dreams about him.

Anyway, three days ago, I got a message from a guy who's been dead for ten years. That's odd, right? I came up with a plan to go find him, but it went pretty badly sideways, and Sargo and I ended up in the crosshairs of a very sketchy underground organization that now wants us dead.

We didn't know what else to do except flee into the Salt. Now we're stuck together on Sargo's tiny sailboat, facing down pirates and harrowing seas, and things are getting, um—tense between us.

Oh, and did I mention I've been blacking out? Like . . . a lot?

Contains mature themes.

Fast paced and fully of witty banter that I found enjoyable. Our dear Bird really is quite the disaster, equally endearing and frustrating at times. I could feel the chaotic energy of her thoughts throughout the story. She has a beautiful resilience that just starts to grow into confidence in herself towards the end of the story.
I would have liked just a bit more world building, but the lack of also made sense in the context of the setting. I remain interested in finding out more! For me the chemistry between the two main characters was a little lacking as well, but definitely indicated that it would develop more in the next one. Maybe haha.
Neva Nevarre did an excellent job with the different characters! I particularly enjoyed Bird and Captain Savage!
Overall I enjoyed it and will listen to the next one!

This is the kind of dystopian I like!

While it seemed slow at a couple of points, this is a cool world with solid character development. It’s a slow burn romance, still just smoldering by the end of book one which is fine by me. I’m definitely reading the next book in the series.

A world worth exploring

This book has the most amazing, relatable, main characters. They're so real and I adore that the MCs relationship isn't perfect at all. Both characters show so much growth, but at the same time, but plot is so much more in depth than just character development. This book had a hint of spice and I really look forward to what Im sure is more to come. Everything is entwined and I am so ready to see what else pops up.
Neva Nevarre (I hope I spelled that right) did a fantastic job narrating. Every character had a distinct voice, the pace wasn't too fast or slow, and her voice is super pleasant.
Will definitely be reading more from this author and listening to more from this narrator.

not what I expected in the BEST way

I thought there would be some spice between the characters but it just never quite made it there. I liked the characters and the story of a post apocalyptic earth is interesting. I kept feeling like i was waiting for something to happen and then eventually the book just ended. Im going to listed to the second one to see if we get a good conclusion. The narrator does better at the other voices than the main female character.

Not bad

I stumbled on this author on FB and jumped right over to listen to this book. Great humor and the plot is good rather than feeling like an afterthought. Followed Liz after 2 chapters.
I’ll be consuming anything she releases! (Liz, you’re doing it! We don’t know each other, but here to support)

Loved it.
