You're Safe Here

By: Leslie Stephens

Narrated by: Carlotta Brentan

Wellness, motherhood, and technology converge in a near future California, as three women’s seemingly innocuous decisions have further-reaching consequences than any of them could imagine in this timely, clever, and white-knuckled thriller that “is dystopia at its best” (Booklist).

In 2060, the WellPod is the latest launch from the largest tech company the world has ever seen—a fleet of floating personal paradises scattered throughout the Pacific Ocean, focused entirely on health, solitude, and relaxation. Created by an enigmatic founder who will stop at nothing to ensure her company’s success, it is the long-awaited pinnacle of wellness technology. For newly pregnant Maggie, the six-week program is the perfect chance to get away…especially since the baby isn’t her partner’s.

Noa Behar isn’t a perfect fiancée. She’s too distracted, too focused on her work in helping program the WellPod to give Maggie the attention she deserves. But when she discovers something rotten beneath WellPod’s shiny exterior—a history of faulty tech and dangerous cover-ups—she knows one thing: she’ll do whatever it takes to keep Maggie safe.

The problem? The malfunctioning WellPods are already at sea. And there’s a storm coming…

A fast-paced and compelling thriller, You’re Safe Here “serves up twists on twists on twists, building to an ending that no amount of AI-powered computing could ever hope to predict” (Nick Fuller Googins, author of The Great Transition).

Good beginning

This started out so well, however the final arc was disappointing and predictable. A little too reminiscent of Brave New World without the fantastic writing.

Greedy corporations. Climate change.

Meditate on death to get the most out of life. ❤️ This book will support left wing Ideology, Gay Life, Global warming, Over population, lack of resources. Fear of loosing the right to kill baby's. It was hart warming that both inconvenient babies in the book where allowed to be born despite the perception of the terrible world they were being brought into. Remember the left wing and the right wing belong to the same bird. ❤️ Can't wait for the next Book. 😀👍

Really good with fantastic world building!

I was really on the fence about this one and then it showed up on sale so I took a chance. I DNF half of what I read and the other 40% gets one or two stars from me so take this as a rousing endorsement. Even if you're not a fan of "motherhood" stories (I'm not) or are tired of trying to find a book where not everything/everyone under the sun is represented (flaming liberal here but even I'm sick of representation at this point), this book transcends anything you might not normally like (speculative fiction)!
