I also enjoyed that Layne and Travis were small-town people, with a lot of insight into their previous lives. Claire Kent did a wonderful job of having Travis both request consent and take control, something that feels vitally important in the world created where women are often mistreated. The epilogue felt hopeful and well-rounded.
The only thing that didn't push this up to 5* for me was that I didn't like the final scuffle, and that the scuffle was required to keep things moving forward. But it was still handled well.

I enjoyed Travis as a male lead and Layne was fine enough, though her age definitely showed. But it quickly spiralled into a sex-obsessed story (not trying to complain - those scenes were really well-written) rather than a dystopian, survival story.

All in all, not bad for my first foray into post apocalyptic romance.
