A Question of Survival
Zack's family had the ultimate bomb shelter right in their own back yard. Just in case. Toby's family went one better and enrolled her in a survivalist institute where she'd be trained to survive the worst. Toby wasn’t thrilled about spending a whole month in Teen Survival Session, but when Zack offered to join her, the idea sounded sweeter. But then the two teens met the people who ran the institute and realized the institute wasn’t designed to train them how to survive. Zack and Toby would have to work together to just stay alive.

DNF’d at 26%.
This was absolutely unreadable. I am being so brave and just straight out admitting that I could not bear to read a single page more of this book. I hated it.
I read the summary for this and thought it was right up my alley - teens being sent off to a creepy survival camp? End of the world conspiracy theories/rumours? Fabby. But no. This was far from fabby.
The writing was all over the place - we had 3rd person POVs from their parents, from random characters who were never explained, from the guy who gave pacifist speeches at the mall. They still had not even nearly gone to the camp when I gave up. And Zachary’s parts were fucking terrible - just him (and his dad!!!!!) lusting after his alleged best friend who was also a teenager, thinking about how she never wore a bra and how she looked in a bikini.
There were just so many random tangents about everything and I’m so mad and proud of myself for admitting that this wasn’t a good book that I no longer want to waste my time on.
It was just incomprehensible. I’m so glad this was on Kindle Unlimited while I’m on a free trial and I didn’t pay a penny for it. Zero stars times a trillion.
