The Last Boy and Girl in the World by Siobhan Vivian

2.0

What drew me to this book in the first place was the cover because of its simplistic yet beautiful design. However, the title, cover, and prologue were all incredibly misleading. You expect it to be a survival story in a sense- a girl and boy left after a catastrophe, perhaps- but instead it's a story about a girl, who seems to have no filter for the words that come out of her mouth, trying to figure out who she is. It's a story about loss and puppy love, but it doesn't really have any climatic moments. I kept expecting more and more as I read, but in the end all I could say was "That's it??" It's not a bad idea for a book, but I have to say I was extremely let down by the ending.
