What do you do when you wake up one morning, and your house is halfway across the city from where it's supposed to be? This, is the Unmapping. we follow the lives of people who live in this new reality, where nothing stays tethered, and everything changes. power is out, the buildings won't stay put, people are panicking. we follow the lives of people who are selfish, who are frightened, who are desperate, who see this as a new beginning and at the end of it all, we get to see hope for a future. this book was intense, it was brilliant, it was look into how real people might react to an unexplainable event. we get little highs and a lot of lows and how people with terrible lives in the beginning, find peace in a new way of living. 

i wll admit, I found the book a little frustrating at times. it seamed to drag in places, but i couldn't stop reading because i HAD to know what happens next. i needed answers, i needed closure! i got... some of that. it was a fantastic book, and it's incredibly unique and the people within it feel so real you might have mistaken them for people in a documentary. it's not my usual kind of book, so while it was engaging and thrilling, i found myself getting bored here and there because it's mostly about people struggling in different ways. if your a big fan of realistic fiction, then this is definitely a book you are going to love!
