Reviews of MARY
Buy the book!! That is all!!
No, I also need to say that this book is amazing! Easily a one sitting book. I loved every page, fantastic characters and plot. I don’t want to give anything away. It just needs to be read.
One of my fav books of the year so far.

Loved this book. Read it in one sitting, I couldn’t put it down.
I do love reading books from different POV’s and this one was no exception.
This was a fast paced novel that will keep you turning the pages.
An excellent YA debut and one I definitely recommend.

The story went to unexpected places in a lot of parts, and I honestly would’ve never guessed the ending. Mary was also a strange character for a protagonist. She’s interesting and complex for sure, but like a virus she was rather unpredictable, an enigma. The people around her were more relatable and more human – but I think that was actually the point. To have a whole ensemble of characters to root for, and maybe even to envision ourselves as, if we were plunged into the same circumstances. To ask ourselves the same questions: How far would we go to save our family? What does freedom truly mean? What price are we willing to pay for our survival?

The author has really created an incredible setting and we loved the back story of the red plague. We found ourselves really falling for the characters and loved the interactions between Vander and Mary.
This books is a solid 4 start read. It has loads of short chapters and it’s an emotive, yet exciting read. It pulls you in and once you’re reading it’s hard to put down.
