Very neat and flowery book. It reminds me of The Girl with All the Gifts in writing style. I connected with Ramola, trying her best to keep a positive outlook in a horrible situation and keeping it up to the bitter end. My only complaint is how long this book goes on for and not a whole lot really happens. We get a couple of action scenes but most of the book is just inner thoughts and detailed descriptions. Not that that is bad, I just wish we had more of the actual story. Absolutely tragic ending, I like Ramola was hoping for a way better outcome even though I knew in my heart how it was going to end. I loved all the subtle clues we got that something WAS wrong with Natalie since the very beginning and we were eased into the feeling that this wasn’t going to end well. Overall very much enjoyed it!
