Going Zero
by Anthony McCarten
Read Completed 5/11/23 | This was a fun read! Very different than what I was expecting, but enjoyable. I thought this was going to much more techy and sci-fi and it was much more suspenseful combined with a little bit of espionage-type vibes.
This is not dystopian but it kind of reminded me of The Hunger Games feelings -- the suspense and tension of a select number of contestants being hunted down and trying to stay off the radar, plus a dash of government resistance. I wouldn't recommend it as a read alike in any way, but it was fun getting that kind of feeling for a little bit and it also helped set the tone of the book.
I wasn't as invested in the second half but I did like how the story kind of pivoted. It kept the plot fresh and gave the characters even more backstory!
This was a fun, suspenseful read without being a "regular" psychological or domestic thriller. I always love trying to venture outside of that "normal" thriller feel and I'm glad I picked this one up! I was hoping for a sci-fi/technothriller but this worked really well too and I'm happy I still liked it despite my (incorrect) expectations for it.
