This book absolutely wrecked me! I lost count of the number of times I found myself sobbing uncontrollably while in the middle of a chapter. I honestly didn't know what to expect when I started reading this but I'm so glad I gave it a chance. I became so attached to these characters that even though I could't stop reading, I was dreading reaching the end of the story because I knew I would miss them so much. The world building is pretty great, the dialogue is witty and feels natural, the action is amazing and fast paced, and the relationship between Echo and Gen will tug at every single one of your heartstrings. I wish there was a way to get a physical copy of this book or that it was available as an ebook because I know this is definitely a story I would like to revisit again. I can't wait to read more of Zoe Reed's work!

i'm so full of love and happiness and hope.
at first I thought i was crazy picking up a book with so much pages in a time where everything too big gets me too lazy.
but i was wrong. i got attached to the characters easily and i couldn't wait for dugan and kara to find gen and echo.
this book broke my heart and glued it back together piece by piece and i would read it all over again a thousand times.

cara, esse livro pareceu como se eu tivesse assistindo uma serie boa de zumbis com 20 episódios.
a ambientação é incrível e o jeito como o autor desenrola o romance das 2 personagens principais é divino, tem tudo que eu poderia pedir. O angst ta ai e o slow burn é tão slow que quando finalmente acontece eu quase explodi.
eu dei 5 estrelas pq eu amei cada segundo do livro, foi puro entretenimento e oq mais eu posso pedir? deixar alguem entredida e focada em um livro de mais 1000 páginas não é algo fácil de conseguir
spoilers:
oq eu não gostei foi rage sex, quando aconteceu da primeira vez eu me senti mal pra caralho inclusive a gen se sentiu assim, mas a echo estava "okay" com isso, então não tem muito oq fazer, mas com certeza eu odiei todas as vezes que acontecia isso.
as partes do dungan as vezes eram meio arrastadas, eu acho q a parte dela serve mais como ambientação e pra gente entender o cenário pós-apocalíptico, mas eu definitivamente queria que ele e a kara tivessem achado a base da gen mais rápido, queria muito ter visto o desenvolvimento dos dois em uma comunidade. Além disso, a backstory dele é triste pra caralho e eu sinto que não teve nenhum closure (n é ponto negativo, só algo triste pra krl pro dungan), a história toda eu pensei q a mulher dele tava morta, mas pior que isso ela deixou ele.
outro ponto negativo é que as tramas de gen e echo as vezes eram bem repetitivas, as vezes vc só quer dar um soco na gen pra ela tirar a cabeça do cu, mas tudo bem a gente entede ela (se vc parar pra pensar até o irmão dela perdoou a echo mais rápido do que a gen pqp

I'm not sure i could say anything about this book, which hasn't already been said, it deserves every inch of the high praise it has received.
Without a doubt i fell in love with this, it might be longer than the usual lesfic story but damn is it worth it. I don't know if anything will top this, ever, never mind this year!
A solid enemies to lovers romance which for once is believable because of the length of the story, the author has really been able to build up that element and make it feasible given the circumstances the characters find themselves in.
I don't want to give spoilers away, because i think anyone who reads this should experience it full force, but all i will say is those last 5-10 chapters are intense, like holding your breath, need to keep reading sort of intense. The twists and turns are perfectly executed right to the very end.
Completely and utterly blindsided by this story, the characters, the authors skill.
A must read for anyone and everyone; all about love, forgiveness, redemption, survival, friendship, trauma, sacrifice and being true to oneself.
