Fragile - Alexa Weik von Mossner - Bog

If you found love in a world on the brink of collapse, would you risk everything for it?
In a not-so-distant future, the planet has been ravaged by climate change, causing a world-wide scarcity of pharmaceuticals, food, and other essentials for survival. New York City is a metropolis divided. Sheltered by enormous seawalls, Manhattan is green, clean, and thriving while the exposed eastern boroughs have been given up to the rising Atlantic.
Shavir Tayard, barista and committed community farmer by day, rescuer of animals by night, is on an dog liberation raid in the evacuation zone of Brooklyn when she sustains an injury that changes her relationship with the cute regular at her coffee shop-and her life.
Jake Alvaro is a troubled Homeland Security agent tasked with securing medical drugs for New York in a world running out of everything. His worldview of whose lives are worth saving, and who must be sacrificed is challenged when Shavir takes him across the East River to the people he was told to ignore. Soon, he begins to question the fragile truths he built his life upon.
A man responsible for keeping New York City alive falls for an underground animal activist from the wrong side of the East River in this compelling fiction debut about love, loss, and resilience after eco-catastrophe.
