I went into this book not knowing anything about it or the author. I loved this book and the way it was written. I got very sucked in to the narrative and the characters, which made the ending all the more heartbreaking .

The premise of this book is great and there are some really excellent moments in it but it was just a bit dull. The middle section was just a whole lot of nothing which I underestimated the need for but it’s doesn’t make it the most engaging read. However, the moments where the book really shines are in the subtle character interactions that humanise this extreme situation and shine a positive light on the whole concept of human morality and instinct.
