The first half was good, but a bit slow. The second half was excellent. It wasn’t too predictable and kept me wondering what could happen next. I wanted more of Sam. Mabel reminds me of Penny from Hairspray. I could totally see this book as a TV series!! Bray is a great writer!
Spoiler
Jericho being a robot was kind of random?? It just didn’t really fit the vibe of the book in my opinion. Jericho and Evie as a couple was also kind of weird but I didn’t hate it.Graphic: Child death
