the story is set 10 years after a deadly virus was unleashed on the earth and we follow 3 storylines of people trapped in situations, while examining their survival tactics and how far they are willing to go/do to make it out alive.
I love how fast paced the book is, I flew through it without feeling like I skimmed, on the contrary it felt like every word affected me deeply and I took my time with the quotes I loved. I loved that it wasn't aiming to give a "light at the end of the tunnel" vibe that most apocalyptic books do, but it was more character focused and doesn't leave any loose ends. every character gets the ending/closure they've been walking towards the whole book.
there was a scene that took me by surprise towards the end and made my stomach turn so check trigger warnings.

I do wish we got a little more about the Whistlers. I thought maybe Hannah would have become one and was to be one of the ones who helped Carter/Daniel with the staff lanyards. It would have been cool to explore more about how some characters really pushed against their dehumanization by getting more about the Whistler "society."
