Most YA I've read recently has bored me because I guess I'm tired of reading about high schoolers. But holy shit this books is so weird to read during a pandemic, because just 3 years ago this author thought about how people would really respond in a crisis, and it's a scary reflection from my perspective. Weird to mention the evils of communism more than once, and the random Disneyland ad toward the end.
