"We're only alive for a short time. We should live while we're alive."

I loved this book. Very short and sweet. Read it in a couple of hours. The writing was very good and it was very interesting. Actually made my brows furrow while reading. That's usually how I measure my interest. Loved it!

It was so strange. Kinda funny bc it was so weird but idk it got a little to confusing for my liking ngl. I also just hated all the characters like every single one so yeah

Very interesting concept, I'm curious where the story can go after that ending.

I like the premise and I suspect the longer I sit on this the more the psychological intent will come into view. I think it is a grand metaphor!! 

However, I’m glad this was such a quick read because some of it was pretty rough. 

like: 

“Pa does not hear the scream over the engine. Ma dresses the wound, but Pa takes his shotgun and leaves the house.” 


It’s a quick read, and probably meant to be deeper than I plan to think about, but the plot left a lot to be desired, the ending left a lot of holes, and I wanted more answers!
