"It was a great read. A lot of aspects—terrorism, poverty, famine—discussed in the book are happening in the real-world. Also, the main character, Lauren, was relatable. "

"Did not finish. 64 of 284 pages. <br/><br/>I read this mostly for an online book club. A lot of us struggled to read it considering the climate of our society right now with the pandemic. As reports came in where the plot got more and more disturbing, I stopped reading. I asked one friend if I should continue after she'd finished and she said no. While it was a compelling read to the point I had read, I don't think I'll be returning to it."
