skye_edelson-bennett shared a tip "Knew nothing going into this book and know nothing after finishing it!😂 It was actually really good and I'm still a little lost but I think I'm going be reading it again."

shelby_parker_5090 shared a tip "A little bit slower, but keeps you engaged. The characters are easy to connect with. This book had me thinking about humanity the whole time…would encourage everyone to read it!"

arlene_wegman shared a tip "It certainly was a page turner—but was waiting for more of an explanation of what was happening in the outside world. Ending was probably the best part.."

jake_thompson_7669 shared a tip "Most resonant, empathic yet horrifying story I've read all year. I told my family, immediately after finishing it, this is the best book I've read all year. Maybe I was still just excited from the ** ending** I'll read this again and love it even more, knowing the path through the brush doesn't lead off a cliff, appreciating the prose that much more."

jenacravesbooks shared a tip "This dragged for me, I felt the premise was really good but not well executed. Too many loose ends that I’d rather the author had wrapped up for me. Not my favorite."

rachel_buck_1850 shared a tip "It’s a good premise but just executed poorly, moves very slow and i feel that the major events in the book didn’t standout until the end"

cynthia_arnold shared a tip "So good, I read and reread to make sure I was understanding what was happening. This is the first book I have ever started a reread as soon as I finished! Read it!"

kayla_ellis_1854 shared a tip "Was hoping for more information on what happened in the outside world, however that was not the point of the book. Author did a great job telling the story between the characters and what it means to find belonging through differences in an apocalyptic setting."

sierra_winter shared a tip "I’ll be honest, I got four chapters in and could not stand the book. The family disturbed me, as did the description of the mom. Two pages were devoted to what the mom bought in a grocery store, and she got *excited* over a bag boy and emails from work. 😐 I did not enjoy this book."

nikkij shared a tip "Definitely enjoyed the character development and the sinister dialogue. Some moments were dragging and the dialogue could be overbearing at times. Would recommend for people who like character studies!"

lara_hope shared a tip "This story struck me in a place I didn't know existed in my head. When I finished reading it I felt like I'd been sucking on a mouthful of pennies. Unsettling in all the right ways!"
