Honestly ended this book with more questions than I started with. I liked the characters and the idea but it felt overcomplicated. The last few chapters feel like a separate story and then ended very abruptly with little explanation or resolution.

Radio Apocalypse exceeded my expectations. I picked up the book because I thought it was a cool concept and because the cover looked cool. I hadn't even read the full synopsis before buying it. But as soon as I started reading it, it was hard to stop. I would become so involved in the story that I couldn't feel time passing around me.
The plot and formatting were so well written. I liked being able to read what was happening from Rachel's point of view and being able to hear her inner thoughts. And then being able to hear Lauren’s point of view through her broadcast as Lota. it was a good perspective because through each it was an uncensored thought process, while with Lots it was a tad more censored only because she was broadcasting on the radio.
The plot of the two slowly learning about each other was something that I welcomed, but hadn't expected. For some reason I had gone into the book expecting them to both still think they're the last person alive by the end of it. Maybe it was because I had recently finished The Picture of Dorian Gray and was still stuck in the mindset of a semi-morbid ending.
The world-building was amazing, as were the monsters described throughout. I would have LOVED to see some sketches of the monsters on the pages.
I rate this a 5/5 and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in sci-fi, horror, queer romance read.
