Dislike what is likely how most people would think, feel, and act when the worst happens. No one is a hero, not much hope in the end.

A literary novel written to sound like a literary novel. Really love the concept and it was pulled off, but without anything that really stood out to me.

Likely hurt by having watched the movie first, which was very faithful and left me little to discover in the pages.

I do believe the movie did a better job with the character, Ruth. Amanda needed a stronger sparring partner to call her out on her biases and Book Ruth just didn't cut it.

It is painfully boring. I kept waiting for it to get better, but it never did.
