Through the Dark (A Darkest Minds Collection) | 
Book number 20 of my year and I‘m about 60 pages in already and I absolutely love this. They are the three novellas that the author wrote to be read after you read the series or after you read each book 1-4 I am currently waiting for book 4 in the mail so I decided to read this now.

Thank you for being a fighter, Sam.
My current read! I just can't tear myself away from these kids.
pickThis is a collection of short stories, one centering around Zu after she got picked up, one more about Sam and a new character. These give a fair picture of what things are like at the beginning of rebuilding the states. I was intrigued, especially by the info on the reds.
A part of me wonders if it‘s not what she went through that has shaped her into something so solid and strong, but the people who went through it with her.
He spoke in parables and proverbs, and when he realized what I was, he barely spoke at all. Some part of me still thinks he would have loved me more if I‘d died, because it‘d mean I was saved.
so-so
