Damn - this really packs a punch 
Edit: switched from 5 to 4.5 stars though because I feel like it wasn’t as devastating and I didn’t connect with the story as much as I could have if it had more dialogue or was just generally longer - loved the way it is already but just couldn’t keep it at 5 stars

"I've never been
in an earthquake.
Don't know if this was
even close to how they
are, but the ground
definitely felt like
it opened up
and ate me."

This was a great read! I'm glad I read the graphic novel edition of Reynolds' book, Novgorodoff's illustrations really brought everything together. The last few pages had me really choked up.
