On the Edge of Gone by Corinne Duyvis

5.0

Never in my life have I read a book with a main character that thought and acted like me. I'm an autistic adult, and have never related to a character more. Denise was so likable to me because I understood her struggles. I've seen some people say the plot or conflicts dragged throughout the book, but there was a lot of internal conflict in there that made sense to me as a fellow autistic person. I read the second half of this book in one night. I can't recommend it more. This book was so intimately and achingly human, and that's what drew me into it. The plot definitely doesn't drag, and this was a heart-wrenching, wonderful, thrilling read.

SPOILERS AND WARNINGS IN THE NEXT SECTION
The mother is a drug addict and there's a scene with euthanasia of cats. That made me tear up. Being an apocalyptic sci-fi book, it does touch on a lot of hard topics, so just know what you're getting into before you read.
