I thought the concept of this book was fascinating and had such potential, however I was unfortunately very disappointed. I didn’t find any of the characters likeable so I didn’t particularly care what happened to them. I don’t think certain parts were explained properly and I didn’t like the narrator.

thank you to netgalley, author -kate risse, narrator rachel fulganiti, and victory editing for providing me with the audiobook in exchange for a review.
i loved this book. it felt like the disaster YA books i used to love but grown up and real because i read it as a floridian. an interesting one to add to your hurricane reads.
engaging perspectives and storylines that i couldn’t stop listening to.

I liked this one so much that I snagged it a second time, which probably was not your intention. I should have left this alone.
I love all the different perspectives in this book. I don't just mean our main characters either. It is a good story about how people handle disaster.

I have a ton of thoughts about this one. I loved the narration. I was a little annoyed by the whole "oh that cell phone will kill you." Like anyone would actually care. They could make heads explode and we would still keep them. But in this story smartphones are banned but people wish they could have one to keep in touch during a natural disaster, which maybe happened because of smartphones.
We all know how selfish we are as a society, but in this book most people aren't selfish like that.
It was good though. Loved the ending.

The concept of this book is awesome. The story falls flat. The decisions made by the characters are simply wrong. The dialogue is written on a 5th grade level.
