TRIGGER WARNINGS-

Murder, death, gun violence, 

One day 12 year old Coco wakes up and starts her day as usual then just as she goes to get her younger brother up everything suddenly changes, or rather freezes. The world just suddenly stops and is set on instant replay- people just keep doing the exact same thing they were doing when time stood still over and over again. The story follows Coco's journey throughout the years as time continues to be at a stand still.

The beginning is captivating and draws you in, it's a different take on a post-apocalyptic world, but it quickly became quite long and drawn out. The story jumps parts in time to years ahead and it still seemed long and rambley with too much filler at times. It started to feel like a chore to finish. 

I like to try ARCs of books I normally wouldn't pick up and that aren't my preferred genres because then I don't feel bad if I DNF them and money was not wasted but then I also feel bad because the rating will be skewed because idk if I'm judging based on the topic/genre or the writing/story... 

Thank you to Jackson Dickert and NetGalley for giving me an E-ARC in exchange for my honest review.
