5.0

from the very first chapter, I knew this would be a five star. I knew this book would not disappoint. And I was so right! Loved how the author depicted the nowdays 20-something, that (my) generation who struggles to fit in because this world was not made for them. The interactions between the generations is so accurate, ma'am I couldn't stop thinking about it. This book is so reflective of our society. I laughed with the characters and I feared with and for them too, and that's what I like in a book. That's also how you recognise a good book.
Kiersten White transport us in a reality not so far from ours, one in which we keep living in the exact same cycles, as she put it in the acknowledgement. Generations after generations we make the same mistakes. Will we wake up and say fck it, today we change?

4.0

The vibes were it
It kept changing which character we were following so it took a while to get used to it.

I enjoyed it. I am not gonna lie was it consistent? no. But i kept turning the page to see what would happen next i also loved the old abandoned amusement park.
