AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!


"The perfect kind of story for our current era."Hypable


Featured in Vulture’s "11 Books to Read If You Already Miss Yellowjackets"!


From the author of Burn Our Bodies Down, a feminist Lord of the Flies about three best friends living in quarantine at their island boarding school, and the lengths they go to uncover the truth of their confinement when one disappears. This fresh debut is a mind-bending novel unlike anything you've read before.


It's been eighteen months since the Raxter School for Girls was put under quarantine. Since the Tox hit and pulled Hetty's life out from under her.


It started slow. First the teachers died one by one. Then it began to infect the students, turning their bodies strange and foreign. Now, cut off from the rest of the world and left to fend for themselves on their island home, the girls don't dare wander outside the school's fence, where the Tox has made the woods wild and dangerous. They wait for the cure they were promised as the Tox seeps into everything.


But when Byatt goes missing, Hetty will do anything to find her, even if it means breaking quarantine and braving the horrors that lie beyond the fence. And when she does, Hetty learns that there's more to their story, to their life at Raxter, than she could have ever thought true.


And don't miss Rory Power's second novel, Burn Our Bodies Down!

Fun

I enjoyed this book but I was just a bit confused in the end

But I enjoyed hetty and also reese.

Hard to put down

Right away I was in love. I loved the atmosphere and characters, its like nothing I’ve read before. I feel like some people are being too harsh, as I personally didn’t find it boring or hard to get through, though I guess that just goes down to preference. I read this book in just one sitting, I had trouble putting it down!


The only things that disappointed me were Hetty’s and Reese’ relationship and the ending. I just felt like their relationship started so fast and finished even faster? And overall I just wish it would have been more present throughout the book. And like a lot of people have said, the ending left much to be desired. I was surprised when I turned the page to just see the acknowledgements, as I was expecting at least 30 more pages.


Other than that I loved this book!
