This book was really good! Very well written, only not 5 stars because sometimes it felt a bit slow and like the emotions were a bit much (they were reasonable I was just tired)

I just can’t with them not being a girls girl. How is this supposed to turn into a romance??

This was a really engaging read! I loved how the two characters perspectives felt really different and distincts, amplified by their different thought patterns and humor. The plot felt more adventurous than structured which works for post apocalyptic. Their relationship was very cute and it was fun to root for them.

Vague spoilers about the ending:
I think the book had a lot of cynicism about what the world would look like after an apocalypse which I personally didn’t agree with- I was hoping they would come around to the idea of community at the end but it was open ended, which sure, makes sense given all they went through but I would have loved to end the story on a happy note.
medium-paced

I forgot to write my review right after reading this so this is less detailed but will have to do.

I love the art. I thought it was cool that they started right out the gate with the creepy premise. Other than that jump of a start, it felt pretty slow paced, but still interesting.

Entertaining and fun! A long read but pretty fast paced. I liked how a lot of moments were not predictable but still built on contextual and realistic information. The characters are loveable and the subtle romances are cute. The ending wasn’t as wrapped up as I would like, but to be expected in a series. Good enough though! Looking forward to the next book.

Not as flirty as I would like 😤 I feel like this slow burn is dragging a little too much
