This was good though the narrative’s messy. Virginia really speaks to the stubbornness of teenagers who are determined but can’t see the error of their ways until hindsight sets in. The tough realities of taking two kids into post-apocalyptic zones is fully-there and heavy. All of this storytelling was very bleak and I wouldn’t reread for fun, but I’m invested enough to read a sequel. I also like the pinkish peach color scheme.
