Another incredible post-apocalyptic romance. I loved how Rachel was so resilient and had a strong backbone. Cal frustrated the hell out of me with how he treated Rachel, but it still felt true to character considering the slightly taboo nature of their relationship. I love a good age-gap novel, but this is a pretty big gap so if that’s a turn-off for you, just be aware.

I think Travis and Layne are still my favorite couple in this series, but Cal and Rachel may be a close second.
