3.0

Pretty grotesque and at times too purposefully brutal, but an interesting nuclear apocalypse tale. Not sure I'm really rushing to read the sequel, but I might pick it up if I have extra time.

I will never understand why these sorts of YA (is it YA?) books always have to include romance. I feel like it should be the last thing on people's minds in such dire situations, but maybe authors think that it shows tenderness and humanity in the most devastating times? It feels forced, if you ask me.
