tbh i was doubting the book bc i couldn’t get into it for the first few pages but i forced myself to sit through this and i am not complaining. was literally on the edge of my seat every page, and i really, really love the characters and was instantly attached to them. 

teared up a bit with that cliffhanger, and i am still crying rn so i’m really looking forward to the next one!!

This is a really creepy dystopian read. I loved the premise, and the different abilities/powers the characters have. It does have big world-ending virus vibes though, so possibly not the best thing to read in the current climate.
