Spellbinding

I read the book. I bought it on Audible . It’s the most original story I’ve read in years. I just loved it; it’s a cracking story filled with wit, wisdom, fear, and humour. Not a fluffy story a proper nail biter. I even shed a few tears along the way. Please, please write a sequel. I beg you. And thank you.

Loved this

I never write reviews and I'm not really a fan of apocalyptic fiction either but had to write something for this because I absolutely loved it. I found the character maddening and yet relatable, narration was fantastic, I even cried once. I can't wait to read this authors next book.

Best Book in Ages

I loved this book!! I didn't know how it would land for me, all things considered with the last few years, but it really triggered my imagination. I have struggled lately to find a book that I can stay with, but this is an audible 'page turner'. I recommend it totally and already have put several friends onto it, all are pleased with it so far. Great writer, look forward to her next. Let's hope its not about a world disaster as we will be forced to sit up and take notice.

Narrator deserves award

The narrator makes this book what it is. I'm not sure I would have finished it if I was reading it. The main character is quite unlikeable for the first half of the book and her back story doesn't make her any more likeable.
It's more self-discovery chic lit with the apocalypse as a plot device. There are some harrowing scenes but mainly it's just girl against nature.
She does grow on you and by the end you want her to do well, you are willing her to succeed.
All in all, I did only check how long left a couple of times, and listened to it over the course of a day and a half. Would recommend for a rainy afternoon but not as a holiday read. Especially not in the current environment.
It made me wonder if I should freshen up my survival skills though.

brilliantly written and narration was amazing

thoroughly enjoyed this book, and the narration judt made it even better! I was truly gripped throughout, some moments made me laugh out loud, others had been welling up. I'm so glad I listened on audible as opposed to reading it, the narrator was really excellent.

Great story. Superb performance

Gripping, emotional, disturbing, laugh-out loud funny and thought-provoking. The central character was beautifully drawn. Congrats to the author.
And to the wonderful narrator who was really brilliant throughout.

End of the world narrative at its uncomplicated best

Loved this. I’m a big fan of an end of the world dystopia so this didn’t disappoint. I thoroughly enjoyed the narrator’s performance too- it makes a huge difference!

Loved it

I wasn’t expecting to ever like the main character. But it was a gradual shift towards great fondness for the character. I’m so glad I listen to it on audio rather than having read it as I enjoyed the occasional sound affects and definitely the narration. I did laugh I did have a few tears and the last hour was very tense. Fantastic debut novel👍🏻👍🏻

Buy this book!!!!

Quite simply the best book on audible. Loved this from start to finish. So invested in this story and the unnamed heroine. An intense roller coaster that I never wanted to get off. I can't wait to see it televised and very much looking forward to a sequel. The narrator was phenomenal too. I will tell everyone to buy this, its fantastic. I could go into detail but simply don't want to give anything away. Just buy it, you won't regret it.
