Liked this book way more than I expected. I couldn’t tell by the synopsis if it was going to be relatable or cringe, and I’m happy to say it landed firmly in relatable. I expected a silly apocalyptic horror and was not expecting a scathing denouncement of corporate pride. I’m thrilled it was the latter. A little Unsubtle with what it was saying but everyone can use the reminder this June that corporations and cops don’t care about us. 


Eta: ok after reading some other reviews maybe it somehow needed to be even less subtle??? Boy howdy some of y’all missed the point
