this was kind of exhausting. i never really felt like the plot mattered even though some of the scenarios were literally life or death. i enjoyed the character writing and that was mostly what pulled me through to the end. i know it was supposed to be a hopeful ending but i didn't really feel that. 

the writing was pretty compelling. i mostly read this in 100 page burst without really getting bored. i just didn't connect with the plot.

this might just be that the book is british and i'm american but i felt like there were some grammar errors throughout that made me stop and go hmm.
