4.0

I was ready to give the book 5 ⭐️ until the end. It felt sudden. I would have been fine with even one more chapter to show what happened after the big reveal instead of a quick recap of 25 days chapter. 
The final paragraph made sense as the ending, I just wanted more information beforehand.

Really unique cross between the Little Red Riding Hood fairytale and pandemic, apocalyptic world. Alongside other great apocalyptic works though, this one is a little flat. I would have liked to go more into the background of the sickness infecting the world and also the reasons behind the “Alien”-esque monsters. Adam as a character is also INFURIATING and makes me think I’m reading from the perspective of young teenagers, not adults in their twenties. The “end of the world” plot is a little played out and predictable for me, but it was still enjoyable to read. 

The real beauty and strength of the book is in Red’s narrative which is very intense to read and very sad with its details of loss, distrust in humanity, racial violence, and ableism. I love how self-reliant and smart she is about the dangers in the world and doesn’t let having a prosthetic leg hold her back. Her observations are witty, and I like reading about other characters through her eyes.

I read this in one sitting , an apocalyptic novel of a girl named Red trying to reach her grandma's house and the treacherous journey she faces. I really hope there will be a 2nd one I need to know more !!!!

Would have been a solid 5 star without the abrupt/rushed ending.

Too many questions about the disease and the crisis were left unanswered.
