It was a bit slow in the beginning and I didn’t get that far in it before putting it down. So I wasn’t super interested in the beginning.
But, as I was reading I got so hooked, I read like 2/3 of the book in like 36 hours (including sleeping and working). I was stuck, but there were some parts that I didn’t enjoy that much or feel weird about.

Romance novels? Not usually for me. But what I think this book succeeded in was making it not about some elusive once in a lifetime love; the core romance felt authentic. And then there's the familal love, the friendships, love for media and the world that's left behind
The author didn't shy away from the ugliness that's inevitably left in the post-apocalyptic world.
It reads like a video game, with the small side-quests, goals and moments of brief encounters or observations
I picked this up in a charity shop because I love the genre; I wasn't expecting anything groundbreaking but I got an sad, lovely narrative that was tense and a little dark
