| Interesting dystopian premise that had no follow up whatsoever.
This is a dreadfully boring uneventful book, it follows the story of a mother of two fighting to keep her children safe from the government after her husband disappeared under suspicious circumstances.
Great, now what? The book is just one long journey across Australia and the ocean to Indonesia to find her husband and nothing much happens that's "thrilling"
Mim is not likeable nor relatable, her decisions and motivations are questionable, her children are insufferable.. and more so the writing itself isn't good and can get down right awful at times.
honestly I don't have much to say about this book besides: poor writing and wasted potential
