Book Review Iloved this book and would definitely recommend it, it’s a quick read, mostly because it’s so hard to put down. It is a mixture of both realistic fiction, scientific fiction and fantasy. All in all, its surprising, invigorating, and the perspective changes with each chapter lets you in on a little bit of each of the characters lives. I absolutely loved it, and I think that if you read it too, you would feel the same!
