The Last Girl by Joe Hart
3.0
I felt like the author was trying too hard with his word choice. His descriptive language fleas over the top pretty often.
Why did we learn so much about Zoey's bladder?
The reason we're supposed to accept for Rita's change in behavior doesn't fit the Rita we initially meet. There's something missing in terms of character development to make it seem believable. This goes for Penny too.
The premise was good though and the story kept my interest. I'm hoping the author evens out the rough bits in his writing for the second installment. I'm not really sure how we can keep the story going with how it ended though. There are some loose ends that needed to be wrapped up, but it felt like the whole story could have ended with book one.

The Fort by Aric Davis

The line in chapter 56 about looking into the kids' eyes made me cringe. Everything after it was too preachy. I also found the dialogue for the kids to be way too adult for their age. The story was ok. I started to get annoyed with Tim's parents and it felt like a forced plot device to keep me turning pages.
I did like how it made me reminisce about summer and playing in the woods though. There was a good line I wish I had highlighted where one of the kids is thinking that if being an adult means having the feeling of freedom that he had while walking through the woods, it would be great. If only. The older I get, the less time I have to sit in trees feeling pleasantly bored.
