A review by jilly7922
The Last One by Alexandra Oliva
3.0
This book is about a contestant Zoo who joined a reality TV survival competition show. During this show where Zoo is struggling to survive off of the land, some sort of apocalyptic event occurred. But whereas this is a reality TV show, Zoo must figure out what is real and true and what is part of the TV show.
Overall I rated this book three stars out of five. This book started out really strong, I was getting really excited reading it. I loved how it addressed the topic of the media and how it can distort reality. It showed how strong our minds are, and how our minds help us survive and deal with trauma. This book has a lot of promise. I was disappointed in that I was expecting this book to go in a different direction. Zoo's character was somewhat unlikable. However, this book has a really good premise, and I am looking forward to reading more from Alexandra Oliva.
I would like to thank Netgalley, Alexandra Oliva, and Random House Publishing Group: Ballantine Books for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
