I had this on my shelf for so long, I had forgotten about it. I searched for something to read, read the blurb, and was interested. Everything else about it I didn't remember. Like the fact that it's a series. After a bit, I had predictions on ending on an unsatisfying ending before the comet hit and I was nervous since this keeps happening to me. Luckily, I was pleasantly surprised that not only is this not the case, but it ends in a way I hadn't expected at all!
I don't know about continuing the series yet, I have to read the next blurb. Part of me is really interested, part of me is really okay with leaving it as is. Which, if you know me is VERY surprising. I don't like open ended questions but this one works for me and I feel comfortable walking away from it.
I really liked the anxiety rep. It's toward the extreme end of the spectrum but all realistic and well done.
It's the right length, with enough of the breakdown of society and relationship angst. If it was longer or had more relationship drama, I'd have been frustrated and bored in the middle.
It is all white and I'm surprised MC's father/family didn't have any racist incidents given the profile. Of course, having nothing but white people makes it easier to avoid....
