• Loveable characters? No

3.0

two cheating plotlines both based around them not having as much sex as the other wants so its partly justified?? the romance was not strong enough for me to root for them through cheating, especially w the weird reasoning

the writing was fine, not bad, not something to write home about, the characters weren't super loveable (to me), it felt like neither the romance or the characters had much depth. felt very flat even with the obvious drama. also, i'm not one for any pop culture references in a book but that's obviously just a personal preference

A quick, interesting read. Good take on "zombies" and very well written. Sad but good! I would love to read a longer version to feel a bit more connected to the characters for the end to have that big emotional impact. But still a good read.
