For me personally, this book was devastating (in a good way). I saw so much of myself in Avery it was like looking in a mirror. I think this book was beautifully written and inspired me to reflect on how I choose to live my life.

Though I feel very connected to this book, there are places where it fell a little flat for me. Throughout the book, it feels like there are moments where it struggles to decide whether to focus on the plot and how the characters are going to try and survive the end of the world or focus on Avery's character and use the end of the world as a device for her growth and development. I didn't really care for the plot itself, and felt as if the book was dragging in scenes where the author was less focused on Avery and more focused of the plot. Despite that, I felt really connected to the book and to Avery's story. It's rare that I feel so seen by a story :)

this book is a beautiful representation of how you can go from rock bottom to the top of the world. how even in the worse situations there's still hope.

it was fine I guess. I didn't really connect with avery and there were moments after she reconnected with Cass that it felt like she was like "ok im in love now depression cured" and that bugged me bc obvs that's not how it works. but the writing was beautiful and the themes were beautiful and the church camp trauma hit a little too close to home ngl. so like it was good but im not going to be losing sleep thinking about it.
