Prose was well done, but I literally hated every character in this book. Extra hated the one who compared herself to an Auschwitz survivor. Premise was cool but not really used to fullest extent (though I realize it’s probably not the point).

Y’all, if you think your life is meaningless because of doom-scrolling & how you hate your job, here’s a tip: you can put your phone down — you can even leave the house without it, don’t worry, you won’t die. And you can just get another job. If you’re disappointed in contemporary life … well, you’re the boss of your life & you can decide to change it. I don’t know. I’m fairly pissed off about this book.

This whole book was like, an ode to suicide. The main character was “depressed” but it rang really false.

I’m confused and sad. What just happened. I was heavily invested. Iris and her world gripped me, I found myself taken by this book. I desperately hope for a happily ever after. I realise, now, the beauty of life… even though it’s not perfect, it’s all we have.

i enjoyed the overall message of the book, found the main character, Iris, relatable and was able to see myself in her a lot.

though i was convinced that there would be a plot twist when people started to disappear, that there was maybe something more to the planet they are on. But i guess they just died? not sure. i’m not really the biggest fan of open endings so it was definitely anticlimactic but still interesting.
