4.0
A queer take on a post apocalyptic narrative. I was so enamoured by this book. The characters were beautifully formed, the romance was a tantalising slow burn and so achingly tender. Enough plot to keep me engaged too! I just wish there had been some more resolution to threads that appeared early on. I thought as well that it was particularly intriguing that this was a pandemic story that referenced Covid but didn’t rely too heavily on it. It framed Covid in a more hopefully light merely by including it.
