I really enjoyed this book, but the whole time was comparing it to Station Eleven.

Overall a though provoking, easy read about human nature and our flaws set in a post apocalyptic world.  But ultimately, I wanted a bit more from it.  I felt it could have gone a bit deeper.  But, hey, maybe that was her point.  Still worth the read!
