Many people love this book, however, as much as I hate to say it, I didnt enjoy it so much.
It is very beautifully written and I do believe it's likeable. It was just a bit too 'less' for me. A lot happened in one location and that is something just not for me.
I did shed some tears at the end. This book also put me in a slump. But, I did finish it, and I do love other books by this author.
This was simply not for me, but I see many people connecting with it after lockdown.
There's a diverse cast (as I can recall, it has been quite a few months). I did like the characters way of thinking and it kept me curious how the book would continue. I think what makes people connect with this book is how there's this kind of lock down, and how these teenagers go about it in a beautiful way, and people connect with that. The characters try to survive. But I think for me, that is what threw me off, because I hate feeling like that. Still a solid three stars.
