Well, this was a complete waste of time!
I was so excited to read this book because of its unique flip-over concept. But after 90 pages, that concept was already gone, and almost all the other aspects of this book were not great or straight-up bad.
For example:
- the writing was bad, I think most of the fanfics I have read had better writing. It felt bland, superficial and dumb
- the constant switching of layout in every part of the book bothered me, I like consistence. Especially in the last part, the layout was bad, the black text wasn't very clear on the gray photos.
- lots of things felt like they weren't very probable, or realistic. For example Dylan getting the meningitis, Holly immediately knowing what was going on and him still surviving felt, idk off?
- there were mistakes in the book. For example in one chapter, they were refering to Dylan's mom (mrs. Blair) as mrs. Hayes (Holly's mom). This irritated me immensely!!
- the biggest problem of the whole book for me: the TERRIBLE ending. They are finally getting where they need to be, feeling content with what they have AND THEN A FUCKING COMET IS GOING TO HIT EARTH, AND THE DOOMSDAY PREPPERS ARE RIGHT. But still, Dylan and his parents think that the mountain shelter will hold. Yeah right!! It was falling apart when a minor earthquake hit the area, how on (by then unexistable) earth would it hold the fallout after a comet???
In conclusion, the book was badly written, needed MUCH more editing, and had a terrible ending. Maybe I would've given 2,5 or 3 stars if the ending was different, but now it is the bare minimum.
The only positive thing? I think this is the quickest read that I have read the last months/years. But that is also because of the bad writing, it was way too simple.
