cara, esse livro pareceu como se eu tivesse assistindo uma serie boa de zumbis com 20 episódios.
a ambientação é incrível e o jeito como o autor desenrola o romance das 2 personagens principais é divino, tem tudo que eu poderia pedir. O angst ta ai e o slow burn é tão slow que quando finalmente acontece eu quase explodi.
eu dei 5 estrelas pq eu amei cada segundo do livro, foi puro entretenimento e oq mais eu posso pedir? deixar alguem entredida e focada em um livro de mais 1000 páginas não é algo fácil de conseguir

spoilers:
oq eu não gostei foi rage sex, quando aconteceu da primeira vez eu me senti mal pra caralho inclusive a gen se sentiu assim, mas a echo estava "okay" com isso, então não tem muito oq fazer, mas com certeza eu odiei todas as vezes que acontecia isso.
as partes do dungan as vezes eram meio arrastadas, eu acho q a parte dela serve mais como ambientação e pra gente entender o cenário pós-apocalíptico, mas eu definitivamente queria que ele e a kara tivessem achado a base da gen mais rápido, queria muito ter visto o desenvolvimento dos dois em uma comunidade. Além disso, a backstory dele é triste pra caralho e eu sinto que não teve nenhum closure (n é ponto negativo, só algo triste pra krl pro dungan), a história toda eu pensei q a mulher dele tava morta, mas pior que isso ela deixou ele.
outro ponto negativo é que as tramas de gen e echo as vezes eram bem repetitivas, as vezes vc só quer dar um soco na gen pra ela tirar a cabeça do cu, mas tudo bem a gente entede ela (se vc parar pra pensar até o irmão dela perdoou a echo mais rápido do que a gen pqp

One of the first books I've read and it is extremely emotionally hitting. It has everything from creepiness to jealousy to flashbacks to trauma to moments that make you laugh out loud because of the emotional complexity of every situation. It is written in the first person perspective and that made it extremely easy for me to put myself in every characters shoes. The main protagonists and perspectives are Dugan, Genevieve and Echo. This books has an angsty queer love story with an insane amount of trauma and a similarly traumatic adoptive father-daughter relationship very much in the vein of Lee and Clementine and Joel and Ellie. I should mention this book takes place in post apocalyptic, zombie-like-infested America.
