2.0

I really wanted to love this because I was obsessed with the series. But I think that the series corrects everything wrong with the book. I really didn’t care about anyone or any storyline. It was just slice of life vignettes about how people deal with half the population disappearing. Literally nothing happens and you glean nothing from these people’s “struggles”. Just not for me.
