I loved this book way more than I thought I would. The world building was done so beautifully, and made a world so realistic that it made me nervous for ours. I wish there was a sequel because I thought the ending set one up perfectly. At first I was disappointed that there is no conclusion, and the ending is ambiguous, but after thinking about it more I realized that it isn't. The story is told as if she is recounting it to you, and she inserts commentary into the story from her present day self. So she does survive, and somehow writes a book. It is just up for you to decide how. This story has so many layers that I keep picking up on as I reflect, and I'm so excited to watch the TV show. Completely deserving of 5 stars, and will probably be one of my favorites of 2017.
