Love me a good post-apocalyptic scenario. Survival, looting, learning as you go. It has all of that. 
Love how the characters are written so realistically. Especially Andrew and Jamie. They don’t know everything but they’re willing to work it out. They learn to trust each other and their gut instincts. 
As much as I hope there’s going to be sequel, I just want them to be save and sound and happy. They’ve been through so much. 
This is the kind of queer representation I’ve been missing in shows like The Walking Dead. Absolutely loved it.

I absolutely DEVOURED this book! I usually take a couple of days to read a book and this took me less than 48 hours! The boys are so cute and kind and I just want to give them the world. They both had a lot of traumatic events in their past but still find enough love in their hearts to share that love with each other. Honourable mention; Henri was so sweet I loved her so much, obviously my favourite secondary character!

this hit a little close to home with the state the world is in. but this book, through all of its angst was interlaced with hope and i adored it. the writing was intoxicating and i could never tell which direction the story was going to go. i feared for all the characters separately and i absolutely fell in love with them all and this piece of writing. a very beautiful book.
