Zero Stars, Do Not Recommend by MJ Wassmer

4.0

Exceptionally average Dan has finally decided to go on a nice vacation with his girlfriend Mara, but less than a day into their life in paradise, the sun explodes. With the guests already divided by class, the wealthiest among them stage a coup and take control of all of the supplies. Things go from bad to worse, when a six-seater broken plane is discovered and only one man is able to fix it.

ZERO STARS, DO NOT RECOMMEND by M.J. Wassmer is one of those books that’s hard to categorize genre-wise. I’ve seen it already being shelved as “romance,” but sci-fi or dystopian would probably be the better slot!

Wassmer did a great job of adding in dashes of humor as everything delves into chaos, and really added a lightness to the whole “well, this is the end of the world” thing.

There are plenty of characters to hate with some to really root for, and we really get a good look at the different facets of humanity.

While slow at times, this one really picked up the pace in the latter half and I, overall, really enjoyed the conclusion!

Thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Landmark for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!
