Bird Box

While I found the prose and phraseology occasionally jarring, the premise of the story is a very interesting one and I think Malerman has done well to leave a lot to one's imagination - much like the characters you aren't given all the information and you end up wondering.

The main character, Malorie, I didn't engage with very well as you see so many different facets to her in such a short period of time it is difficult to latch on to just one. The character of Tom is only presented as one version of himself so he's a lot easier to engage with.

The story itself feels quite compact and short (regardless of page counts) and the frequent ‘chapter' breaks make it easy to read a little bit in short bursts. There are better composed novels admittedly; and this one is still worth reading. If you have a completionist mentality, it might nag at you all the things that are not answered in the book. That is the point, though.
