Survive

a really quick read but it packs a punch

i love survival stories but i feel like short survival stories like this book shouldn't exist. Survival stories need at least 500 pages. The longer we know the characters fighting for survival and the longer we are immersed in the survival situation ourselves (reading it not actually surviving it lol) then the more we can connect and immerse ourselves into the pain of survival (if that makes sense?)
longer survival books make for good endings idk

I hated how it was written, I hated the characters, I hated the insta love and trauma bonding. Just really didn’t like this book.

I have a rule to get great surprises from books that I don’t read the backs, however that worked out worse for this book in specific since I wasn’t expecting all of the suicide talk and I really am not in the right frame of mind to be hearing all of those details. So just warning you if you don’t feel ready , don’t read it. But also probably don’t read it anyway because it’s not like there was anything I enjoyed about it.
