This is one of those books just waiting for a producer’s kid to have to read in school and all of a sudden it’s in movie theaters everywhere bringing in billions and everyone’s obsessed with it and it ends up being some sort of trilogy or Netflix finds it and ends up being a like 3-4 season long show that’s all over TikTok and Instagram and everyone suddenly forgets what The Hunger Games, Divergent, and Maze Runner were all about. This genuinely does not get the attention it most definitely deserves and it’s so frustrating! The plot is CRAZY trippy, the characters felt like family (even the annoying and distrustful ones!), and the suspense had me trying to run faster, lie better, and survive longer…AND I WASN’T EVEN THERE! I really hope this takes off in 2024 for this author because she’s created such an incredible gem with this piece and I CANNOT wait for book 2 to drop!
