An interesting read contemplating mortality and what drives us to stay alive. It held my attention well and I found the formatting of journal entries with theories about the end of the world every couple of ‘chapters’ to be very fluid and helped framing the timeline. I would say there were a few parts that did feel more YA aligned, but nothing that led to me being disengaged with the story.
