Trigger warnings: impending apocalypse, violence, vomit, mental illness, panic attacks. 

This was both utterly delightful and the dumbest freaking book I think I've ever read, and I LOVED IT. Was it predictable af? Yes. Did I care? No. I love a roadtrip story and I love a omg-he's-a-prince?? story, and I'm partial to a dystopian story, and this was all of those things wrapped up in one. 

Add in a rescued dog and I was absolutely on board. I *was* slightly salty about the ending - in that I shrieked like a banshee - and then I immediately went to check if there's a sequel and there is so it's all fine. 

(That being said, I would love it if the cover were, uh, not terrible)
