I found the first chapter of this book a little boring since it talked about an average family and their road trip to a secluded holiday destination. I stuck with it and gradually the pace picked up a little, although it never really reached a point where I couldn't put it down. I like what the author was trying to convey and the prose was appealing to me, but the abrupt ending left me feeling short-changed. I realise this was planned and intended, but still, it left me a bit disgruntled! I would recommend this book if you like something completely modern that talks about your average US family and their life experiences.

This is one of the few books where the movie was better. I can't stand useless white women who fall into hysteria over the safety of their kids. As much as I love a dystopian novel, I just wanted more from this book.
Stars 1.2/5
Spice ?????? Bruh why.
I was super excited to read this book because of all the hype around it and my god was it not worth the hype. Everything in this book is OVERLY DESCRIPTIVE. Wayyyyy too much for something written in 3rd person. Also I feel like there was some scenes *cough, cough* that could have definitely been left out.
I don’t recommend unless you’re looking for a super quick read or you’re watching the Netflix adaptation to compare it to.
