Dr. Caldwell and Ms. Justineau could’ve had earth-shattering toxic yuri romance but M.R. Carey is a coward

4.5

- Probably one of the most evocative books I've read
- Incredibly tense and sad scenes 
- Good pacing and build up that doesn't feel anticlimactic or too regular 
- World building spoilers:

The best take on a zombie apocalypse I've engaged with

- Characters are both likeable and unlikeable because of their flaws
- What it alludes to at the end is a bit confusing, but it doesn't change much and was still sarisfying

 I don't know if I'm in the right mindset to figure out how I would rate this right now because of school brain stress. That said this is really good and I highly recommend if it sounds interesting to you.
