I really enjoyed the other book I read by this author, The Mary Shelley Club, and between the cover and the comparison to Lord of the Flies for this one, I’ve had it on my TBR since I first heard about it. I didn’t get to it when it came out, but I was lucky enough to get a copy from the publisher for the library committee I am on. And once again I ended up being blown away from the uniqueness and craziness this author has given us. While at first I wasn’t quite sure, once the story got going, it really had a lot of twists and turns and unexpected occurrences. Now it may not be an exact retelling of Lord of the Flies, it has just enough little bits here and there that made it resonate with me since that has always been a favorite book of mine. Highly recommend this one!
