So basically, it's an alternative ending of newt's life.
Instead of staying with "Tommy and the others", he leaves so to not have them see him loosing his mind.
On the way, he met a woman (keisha) and her child and they're gonna become his family as he realises his last mission: bring them back to their OWN family even if it's the last thing he does.
I found the book strangely sweet, the character of Keisha was really loveable and her role of big sister/mother to newt was wholesome to read.
We follow through newt's pov as he slowly looses his mind and starts to remember stuff from his past which is something that lacked (in my opinion) in tdc.
The writing is simple but not unpleasant, and it's pretty fast to read.
Overall okay, probably won't ever read it again but it was a nice experience. Also, newtmas is real, the last line of that book proves it to me idc.
