This book has shades of 1984 and Lord of The Flies. Also reminiscent of video games like Fallout and Bioshock, the atmosphere is so vivid. It immediately drew me into the world, so much so that I had dreams about being in the bunker - so Rachelle Atalla must be doing something right.
The story follows, Sarah, the titular pharmacist spends her days giving out anti-depressants to those living in the bunker, survivors of an unnamed apocalyptic event. When she catches the eye of the mysterious leader of the bunker, her world begins to disintegrate as she is forced to come to terms with just what she will do to survive.
I couldn't put the book down. I was left many questions which I loved. I have found my mind wandering back to the world since I finished the book, questioning what happened to this world, and how the leader rose to their position. It is definitely a book I will read again and one I will recommend to friends. An absolute must for fans of the books and video games I mentioned.
