i think it's called the unwinding? it's a dystopia where the premise is that there was a civil war between pro-choice and pro-life groups in america(?) and they made the compromise that all pregnancies must be carried to term and kids must be raised for a certain amt of years, but then at a certain age, 13 i think it was, if the parents dont like the kid they can have them "unwound," which is that they will be meticulously surgically taken apart but all of their organs and skin and everything will still be alive? somehow? and ig they'll still have some level of consciousness? and like, anyone who needs an organ transplant or skin grafts or like, amputees who want a new arm or whatever get that body part from an unwound kid. and the book follows a runaway who was gonna be unwound and then also a kid who was tithed, so like his parents had him w the express purpose of donating him to the church for unwinding?? the premise is absolutely bonkers and the narrative of the book shifts constantly, it touches on a whole bunch of real-world politics without ever actually committing to any stance, and the whole thing reads like a wattpad original work in a really bad way. but somehow there's like a whole series and it's legit popular!! i dont get it at all
This sounds like some fundie subterfuge nonsense.
They love to do this. The YA dystopia boom brought us so many books like this. Gentle Tyranny is another one, it's all about how feminism is evil.
They think that they can put a secular mask on and convert people without them realizing it. But they're really really bad at it. Like, who else other than fundies would even come up with this idea??
Was the writer a blonde white woman? I don't want this book in my search history, but I'm willing to bet I'm right
