August 16, 2020 Devolution (Jocelyn’s Pick)

Discussion: Jocelyn- I loved it! This was a fun easy read. I like reading about unprepared people having to figure out how to survive. I also really liked that so many true facts were mixed into the story. Would recommend. 4/5 Julie- Super fun book. Hated that bigfoot was a bad guy though. Was totally into it the whole time. Would recommend. 4/5 Ali- Really liked it. Lots of questions came from the book, great discussion pick. Liked the back and forth between the reality of the book.
