This book was exciting and sad and felt real despite being about the aftermath of a comet hitting the earth. While I do recognize how other reviewers felt the diversity boxes just kept getting checked off, the reality is that the author did a beautiful job of pulling the story together and making those exact details a part of the overall experience.

I had to stop reading this one at less than a third in, because I was bored with the plot and it didn't seem to be getting better. It's well-written otherwise. But I've read three other novels with autistic protagonists that I enjoyed far more. (

3 -3.5 star rating.

I wanted to love this more. I really enjoyed the first half, it has a sense of urgency which is very fitting for the apocalyptic setting, and it's great at building anxiety in the reader which was a hell of a lot of fun to experience while reading this kind of book. Unfortunately the second half was a bit of a let down (though I did appreciate where it was trying to go), but I really liked the autism & trans rep. (
