Fireblooms

"In today’s era of Big Tech, social land mines and cancel culture, Alexandra Villasante’s Fireblooms is a searingly relevant YA dystopian romance. Lu and Sebas are two teens navigating the suffocating expectations of a school system where compliance isn’t just encouraged – it’s mandatory. If they misstep, their families face dire consequences. Fireblooms asks a chilling question: When does the call for civility and mindfulness become a tool for surveillance and suppression? Urgent, unsettling and profoundly prescient, Fireblooms challenges our modern obsession with safety, probes the cost of silence and affirms the enduring power and danger of speaking out."
