Not perfect but a solid first book by the author. The first half is just perfect, nothing to say about it, cool ambiance and great characters, not the most original one, but likeable and well develop. Unfortunately with the second half come a bunch, I mean a ton, of clichés from the post-apocalyptic genre and also a bunch of YA style romance that didn't please me at all. Then the ending, as cheesy as it can be... I do respect the message at the end, no spoiler, but the message about how few things we need to enjoy and appreciate life, the essential stuff, that was great! So definitely some flaws but I enjoy and I think will remember it quite some times and that's good, but for me, this book was about the ambiance and characters, I would have prefer to let all the clichés and the action down and just enjoy the ride, living that isolated life with the characters, even if nothing had happen it would have been fine by me. The action/plot just seem a bit forced and was really not original at all. Anyway, I still like it, good first book, a book I enjoy and an author I will keep my eyes on and will read in the future!
