A magnetic novel about two families, strangers to each other, who are forced together on a long weekend gone terribly wrong.
From the bestselling author of Rich and Pretty comes a suspenseful and provocative novel keenly attuned to the complexities of parenthood, race, and class. Leave the World Behind explores how our closest bonds are reshaped—and unexpected new ones are forged—in moments of crisis.
Amanda and Clay head out to a remote corner of Long Island expecting a vacation: a quiet reprieve from life in New York City, quality time with their teenage son and daughter, and a taste of the good life in the luxurious home they’ve rented for the week. But a late-night knock on the door breaks the spell. Ruth and G. H. are an older couple—it’s their house, and they’ve arrived in a panic. They bring the news that a sudden blackout has swept the city. But in this rural area—with the TV and internet now down, and no cell phone service—it’s hard to know what to believe.
Should Amanda and Clay trust this couple—and vice versa? What happened back in New York? Is the vacation home, isolated from civilization, a truly safe place for their families? And are they safe from one other?

I liked the plot and characters but the writing style was repetitive and used way too many metaphors. Could’ve been at least 50 pages less.

Me aburrió, mucho texto innecesario que perfectamente pudo ser omitido y escenas en donde se mencionan genitales de los personajes que son completamente innecesarias. De lo peor que e leído este año.SPOILERAl final no te explican que es lo qué pasó ni que fue de los personajes. En lugar de dejarme con curiosidad solo me dejo frustrada por que creí que por lo menos el final me iba a explicar lo que pasaba y que iba a ser un buen final, pero no fue así.

Buenísimo, te mantiene en suspenso en todo momento y me gusta la forma en que plasma la naturaleza de los personajes.
