3.0

I wish I’d read a physical version of the book instead of listening to the audio book. I didn’t love the narration - felt too light/glib for the topic, some distracting pronunciations, etc. Sometimes I felt the same way about how the adults handled situations - like they all were not nearly concerned enough any what was going on around them. 

The premise was good and I didn’t guess the ending, which I liked. I had a hard time caring about what happened to any of the characters, especially the teens.

Slight spoiler below:

I don’t understand why one of the main characters remained silent at the end, it made no sense for the story or her character.
