What. Did. I read. I picked it because I’m doing the A-Z challenge and needed z

It’s basically, what if there’s a huge radiation event and you’re the only human to survive?

But wait there’s a scientist who also survived but he’s the literal worst human that ever lived. 

What?

Lots of writing that made it clear this male author maybe should have chosen a small boy to narrate and not a small girl. 

It was just weird 🙃

I hated it.
The pacing of the book was so off-putting. Half way through a chapter there would be long flashbacks that were way too long then would continue on with the current events.
It's also written as a diary which I personally don't like. This means that diary entries for singles days go on for many chapters. Not to mention it was boring.
