I had not appreciated that this was going to be a zombie apocalypse book! I didn’t love it… I found it slow and bleak. I didn’t think Miss Justineau’s character was that well developed. 
This was my first zombie book, so I have nothing to compare it to. It was interesting, especially in light of COVID 19, but I’m fine if this is the only zombie book I ever read.

Really confusing book at times. I think it was about identities, but I’m honestly not sure 😂. I really enjoyed the journey, and was very moved by aspects of it, but I’m not entirely sure where the journey took me. I need someone clever to explain it to me! Lol!
