I normally don’t read a book like this. I picked this up and thought it was going to be a different story than it was. But I couldn’t stop reading it to see what happened. I didn’t really like any of the people but their struggle was real and the things they had to do to survive were things they would’ve never done normally. Extreme conditions, extreme actions.
