It has a slow start, but once you get going on the Long Walk it’s hard to put down.

As a romance reader, it’s not the typical book to read for this genre, but I think it was important for the story to show how much humanity is getting wrecked as corporations and wealthy elite make the earth uninhabitable.
Worth every second to read, and I need to know what happens next; both for the book and to have some hope!

It’s a beautiful companion novel to “Last Night at the Telegraph Club”, with another incredible narrator who allows you to experience the journey of finding oneself through complicated family dynamics, high school, and relationships. I wish I could read it again for the first time!

Oh. My. Gosh. I’m still trying to process it all! The connections between this book and the Priory came with so many surprises, and made some of the Priory storylines so much more meaningful. Characters? What an emotional rollercoaster I had with them!
My favorite part is that the connections even had a beautiful way of appearing to tell a story of what happened between the two novels without actually doing that—it’s almost like there was a story to read between the lines, if that makes any sense.
I wish I could read this for the first time over and over.
