Interesting apocalypse book of two men that happen upon each other. They end up teaming up and going to search for others and right their wrongs. They fall in love but refuse to just tell each other. It’s adorable and deeply unrealistic 😂. But I suspended belief at some point and it really sucked me in especially towards the end. An enjoyable read, especially for dystopia and an apocalypse.

This is one of those books that will leave you feeling both fulfilled and empty by the end. So much happens in this book and yet by the end you still find yourself wanting more. This is one of the best books I have read in a long time and I recommend it to anyone who knows how to read. 5/5⭐️ will be reading this again! P.s. this one's a tear jerker, I am currently crying.

An easy to read book, fairly engaging. It seemed almost unfinished, but maybe that's opening up a book no. 2 -- which I'll definitely pick up. The writing was funny and gripping and easy. Cute romance, tho the confession lost me a little bit. Moves incredibly fast at some moments and slow at others -- I definetly wanted to explore more plot points before the boys moved on. Overall, I enjoyed reading, but I don't feel complete after completing the book. Maybe that's the point, but doesn't fit the vibe of the literary style.
