The Stranded

I'll be the first to admit dystopian is not my go-to genre, but I'm so glad I took a chance on this one.

The cover drew me in and the story kept me there, a cruise ship full of passengers looking to have the luxury vacation of their lives, then.... the world changes overnight and that cruise ship is now a floating city that will keep "the exposed" away from land and keep everyone else safe.

Throughout the story we see glimpses of the best and worst of humanity, the best and worst of the world, and the best and worst of ourselves, putting myself into Esther's shoes, wondering what I would have done in her situation, this book plays with your brain in ways that I thoroughly enjoyed.

In something that is a blending of Divergent, The Hunger Games, and Station Eleven this book makes you want to know more about our characters and the Arcadia, who survives, where they go, and what happens next.

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Fire for providing an advance copy of this E-Book, I have voluntarily read and reviewed it and all thoughts and opinions are my own.
