"Story of one ordinary family and their unexpected adventure of a lifetime"? Absolutely not.
Excepected a fast-paced apocalyptic story full of said adventure, but got a slow burning character driven family drama instead.
Positives

Positives
- Short alternating chapters
- An easy read
- Some dark humour
Negatives
- Slow burn
- Ending felt rushed, it's like the author dragged the story up to the last 50-70 pages and then unloaded everything to try catch up
- Name dropping.. a lot of side characters, too many and whose names I already don't recall. I literally just finished the book.

So this book usually wouldn’t be my cup of tea but it’s base in reality and a location I’m familiar with got me interested as well as the author. This book was hard to put down but in the end there wasn’t any resolution so I’m hoping for a sequel. It was a lot of build up and then not many answers.
