3.5 stars - Such a strange and dark book... an interesting end of the world take and the ending was just bizarre. I can't say I really liked any of the characters (except maybe Mott who was far too responsible for a 12 year old) as all of the relationships were very toxic and a little hard to read about. I think it drew me in because I was just really curious on what this take on the end of the world would be.

As far as apocalypse novels go, this could have been a lot more interesting.

Super trippy book, the end really got me.

If you're into psychological insights into the apocalypse books this is an interesting one.
