G Benson truly blows me away by how varied her novels can be, yet they are all brilliant. From a fake-dating rom-com (Who’s Have Thought) to a Hollywood celesbian romance (Purposefully Accidental) to a story both heartbreaking and heartwarming (All the Little Moments) and now to a terrifying, thrilling, cute, romantic, funny, stomach-churning, sad and hopeful zombie novel, G Benson can do anything, and do it with panache!

I loved everything about this book. I loved the multiple POVs, especially getting to see our main couple being idiotically cute from different perspectives. I loved the zombies—I’m a fan of zombie movies, and I loved how they were portrayed here. I loved the scenario set up in the book, finding it genuinely thrilling. And I loved the romance, finding it both believable but also funny.

I can’t recommend this book enough!

There was a lot I liked about this. Well written characters, interesting details about vineyards and wine making. Lots of very sweet romance. But the will-they-won’t-they was annoying to the point it detracted from my enjoyment overall.

Sweet and fun!

I absolutely loved this book. The two main characters were so three dimensional. The secondary and side characters were brilliant too. The world of the story was so richly drawn, populated with so many people and places. It feels like I’ve watched a miniseries, it’s so vivid in my head.

The romance was so well written. It was so believable. Leah and Tori fell in love so naturally, never feeling too rushed, but it also never felt like it dragged.

Can’t recommend this enough.

Quinn Ivins books be like, eight hours of impressing each-other with their knowledge of statistical models and data analysis skills, then they kiss at the end.

Another 5/5 by Quinn Ivins

I loved the writing. I laughed so hard at one point my wife had to ask if I was okay. I cried happy tears at another point.

On the negative side, a bit too much miscommunication. I also wish we got to know the love interest more—the main character even commented near the end that she didn’t feel like she knew her very well at all, and then did nothing to remedy that. Lastly, the emphasis on the main character needing to lose weight to be attractive was pretty bad.

I do want to read more from Robin Alexander though. I can see why so many people love her books.
