Essence: Survivors of apocalypse, two worlds collide.

"Pure" is a great read for fans of dystopian fiction with a focus on world-building and character development. The book showcases the stark contrast between two groups of survivors following an apocalypse; the Pure, who live safely within a Dome, and the Wretches, who suffer from permanent burns and fused, damaged bodies. The story follows Pressia, a Wretch, and Partridge, a Pure, as their worlds collide and they uncover secrets about their pasts. The unique and distinctive feature of "Pure" is the vivid world-building and character development, making it a captivating read from start to finish.

Description

We know you are here, our brothers and sisters . . .
Pressia barely remembers the Detonations or much about life during the Before. In her sleeping cabinet behind the rubble of an old barbershop where she lives with her grandfather, she thinks about what is lost-how the world went from amusement parks, movie theaters, birthday parties, fathers and mothers . . . to ash and dust, scars, permanent burns, and fused, damaged bodies. And now, at an age when everyone is required to turn themselves over to the militia to either be trained as a soldier or, if they are too damaged and weak, to be used as live targets, Pressia can no longer pretend to be small. Pressia is on the run.
Burn a Pure and Breathe the Ash . . .
There are those who escaped the apocalypse unmarked. Pures. They are tucked safely inside the Dome that protects their healthy, superior bodies. Yet Partridge, whose father is one of the most influential men in the Dome, feels isolated and lonely. Different. He thinks about loss-maybe just because his family is broken; his father is emotionally distant; his brother killed himself; and his mother never made it inside their shelter. Or maybe it's his claustrophobia: his feeling that this Dome has become a swaddling of intensely rigid order. So when a slipped phrase suggests his mother might still be alive, Partridge risks his life to leave the Dome to find her.
When Pressia meets Partridge, their worlds shatter all over again.
