This story is about the future, after the world has had a devastating event, the Great Waves, appearing to turn their world upside down. Tempe, main character's goal is to acquire enough notes, their money, to resurrect her sister and get answers about their parents death during the Great Waves.

"After the Great Waves, survivors from all over the world congregated on the few remaining islands, uniting various cultures. But they soon realized that the land was best saved for growing crops, and so the Reefs were built from bits and pieces of sunken Old World cities hauled from below. Now, large anchors tethered
the floating metal structure to the land my ancestors once called home.
Around fifteen thousand Reefs existed today with each zoned to the closest island in a five-hundred-mile radius. Anything beyond that was too far for crops to travel before they perished. And the Equinox was the biggest Reef of its kind,
home to over ten thousand people."

Tempe swan everywhere to find that one plant to help her to be able to collect the final amount of notes she needed to be able to resurrect Elysea, her sister, one last time.
The excerpt ends with Tempe riding off to Palindromena, their capital city, so to say, where all the control of the comings and goings of the population, such as: Couples can only have two children because the weight of everything is monitored by the Equinox Watchtower.

I really like the writing style, easy to follow and descriptions, This is a great YA dystopian story.
