The Girl with All the Gifts - M.R. Carey

This book was a really interesting sci-fi horror-esque read.  I cared about the characters, the science side of it was interesting, and I had moments where I was cringing. 

I listened to this on audiobook and it had a very cinematic feel to it in places which worked for me. 

I don't know what else I can say about this without spoiling anything other than I would recommend it. So I'll continue below.

There are only two things I really had significant issues with in the book, One being the masturbation and sex section. Like it just felt really out unnecessary and awkward. Also the end I just had to suspend my disbelief.  Like Melanie becomes defacto leader and keeps the kids from eating Miss. Justineau without having a language with them. And really like Miss. Justineau wants to live totally alone with just hungry kids and no e-blocker.  I don't know maybe one day they strike out to find some but eh I'm just going to try to suspend my disbelief.
