I can’t wait to see the future of this debut author (and I hope the future comes soon). I am certain that he will reach the ranks of Adam Silvera and the like. I’m desperate for another novel from this author. I also appreciated how many issues the author managed to fit in, without seeming to over-dramatize the novel. It doesn’t seem like society has learnt anything, and people are still demanding ‘rights’ across the world. I loved the fact that this was exactly how I imagined the next COVID-19-like outbreak to go in some countries. I loved the slow-burn romance and the gritty reality of a world in pieces. I couldn’t decide which character I liked more, which is quite rare for me with a dual narrator (usually I like the first one introduced the best). I sank deeply into the universe and felt the dirty sneakers on their feet as my own. Several hours later, and I’m still thinking about Jamie and Andrew and the future. I couldn’t bare to put it down – I needed to read right to the very (bitter) end. When Andrew stumbles into the cabin, Jamie suddenly has to look after someone else – and maybe begin to care for someone he never thought would matter.
Jamie’s cabin-in-the-woods is well appointed and isolated, and Jamie is alone to contemplate life. Pockets of people remain, some clustered, and some on their own. The superflu has wiped out 99% of the population.
