Set in the future, this book’s definition of insanity has a very different meaning than what we currently believe. All characters are given vitamins to prevent insanity, but even with vitamins, Robert and John are struggling to stay “sane”. This book was intriguing from beginning to end and very thought provoking. It was interesting and sweet to watch John and his wife, Angela, have their relationship grow into something they never thought possible. There are several characters with strong personalities and opinions of what’s right and wrong and what they think will save humanity. Just when Aaron Jordan has you believing in one of these character’s philosophies, he shows you another point of view and changes your mind. Major, life-altering decisions are made based on what characters think someone else is feeling and thinking and things probably would’ve ended very differently had they trusted each other and had more open conversations before making rash decisions. To see how everything unfolded was captivating! I really enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it to both male and female ages 16+.
