adventurous dark emotional hopeful tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

Two whole weeks since everyone died and I had only made the most cursory attempts to find any other survivors..... I had watched porn instead.

I freaking loved this. It was so refreshing to have a post-apocalypse book with a British sense of humour. There were so many points that were my favourite but I don't want to give anything away. You may find the MC a little self-indulgent and self-pitying. I honestly hated her for a short while, but let's be honest, we're not all going to be the best apocalypse survivors. This was a treat. 

Also, there's a dog. Need I say any more?

Wow, just wow. The start of the book was hard but as I got used to the circumstances, it gor easier. After half-way through I didn't want to stop reading at all.
