Five Things About On the Edge of Gone 
 ON THE EDGE OF GONE reminded me of all the things I enjoy about the sci-fi genre. I have a weird interest in end of the world books because something like this could definitely happen someday in reality. Above all, I liked how the situation of the world ending naturally progressed and how we were there almost every step of the way, trying to survive right along with the rest of humanity. Overall, this was a really great read. 
 It has diversity without blatantly pointing out that it has diversity. 
 Nothing is more frustrating than having a book point out a character's skin color or mental condition every few pages, so it was awesome that ON THE EDGE OF GONE didn't do that. All of these topics need to be talked about and more widely accepted, instead of just being made a point out of. 
 Denise, the main character, is awesome. 
 She just might be the most realistic heroine I've ever read about. Denise shows every side of her character: her flaws, her strengths, her vulnerability, and everything else that makes her character feel like a real person. Denise has autism and it was incredibly eye-opening to read from her POV. 
 The side characters could have been developed a little further. 
 While some effort was made to make them likable, I felt like they could have been used more and I would have liked to know more about their backstories. Some characters were introduced only to never make another appearance. 
 Some plotlines were left open-ended. 
 Open endings are either a hit or miss for me and this one worked pretty well overall. However, there were some smaller events that I wish could have been tied up for a more complete conclusion. (I wouldn't say no to a sequel!) 
 It's so easy to read. 
 Although this is almost a five-hundred page novel, it doesn't feel too long. Every page flows well and I had read one-hundred pages before I even knew it. Still, I'm not entirely sure this one couldn't have been trimmed down.

 ON THE EDGE ON GONE is definitely worth checking out, it has so many great elements. I can't wait to read Corinne Duyvis' other novels now, she definitely can tell an impressive story.
