Really really really loved this book. It's a great concept, thinking the world has ended but you're just in a mcmansion fake neighborhood. Really heart wrenching plotlines, you figure out the main character's past as he does. Whimsical in the darkest way, somehow funny in the face of horror. I loved the short chapters so much, it felt so easy to read and stop wherever I wanted to.
