4.0

Everyone in this book made me so mad. I genuinely did not like any of them. Although, I do admire how well Holly Jackson used this to her advantage in crafting a story that challenges the innate selfishness of humankind. 

It also made me think of 'Midnight' doctor who, which is my favourite episode. So that's a plus.

Overall, not as good as Jackson's other books. But still an enjoyable, engaging, and captivating read.
