Wow this was not good.
I was excited at first because I was initially a fan of the writing. It reminded me of The Road but more poetic-- I thought I was growing up from disliking that book! Look at me, maturing from my high school days. Wow. But then I was reminded why I hated The Road. The stream-of-consciousness narrative starts to wear on me because it leads to simplistic language mixed with the lack of punctuation where you can't even tell who's talking in a conversation. (Authors, please use quotation marks, I'm begging you. My brain does not work that way.) This was combined with a stick figure of a plot and an unsatisfying lack of information about how the world got so bad. Add into that a bizarre instalove ("pussy whipped at a thousand feet") and the most cringey sex scenes I've ever read. Some intriguing writing at the start does not make up for everything else. I would've happily DNF'd this if I weren't reading it for the book club I created.
Also, what is with all the vomit scenes??
