5.0

Oh My world! What can I say about a book that spoiled the next book to me?! I absolutely loved each moment of this book, I have grown with Coco, I have suffered with her, I was absolutely destroyed by the ending, and I can not stop thinking about this book, how I loved the way it was written.

In this book, each chapter have a small interlude written in the first person by Coco or by Forrest, a bit how a personal diary is written, and in this audiobook having two people telling the story sounds so even better, they both bring so much emotion, and all characters to life. I already knew Theresa Plummer, she read another series that I absolutely loved, so even thou I didn’t know if I would like the story I knew I would be great with her reading, I didn’t know Ari Fliakos, but I loved his part as well, I enjoy so much more when the people reading do all the other voices around and they both delivered on that department, and you know what? The story is as good as Theresa and Ari reading, I loved this book to bits, I ended up reading and listening at the same time, and I cant recommend this book enough, the story is great, the actors reading do a really great job, you feel each of their words, their fears, their joy… yeah I wish I could start again without knowing the story.. make it the first time again…

This apocalypse is very different from all the other apocalyptical books that we can find out there, people are inside of loops, and the people we follow are outside of those loops, and if they interact with the people inside those loops the people inside the loop will fight against the people who bothered them and then they will die and disappear, and that is true for animals as with people… only in the end we learn what happened in Coco House in the beginning… and where my broken heart starts, I am lying, it started a way before... I will just throw that out there, in the last 15% of the book I was ugly crying, I knew it was almost at the end, and it brings so many feeling to the surface.. yeah just thinking about the story and how it ends I am crying again, but still I can only highly recommend it, I loved it so much, the way the story is written even with the mention of babies being made, its very clean in the language, so it is fine for all ages, at least in my opinion, Coco was 12 when the end started, and while she feels mature, she also feels innocent during the book, even when thinking of her son… just read on and you’ll understand what I mean.

Thank you NetGalley and Campfire Publishing for the free AAC and this is my honest opinion.
