I loved the way this book utilized the "zombie-like" outbreak trope and made it unique. The love our main characters had for each other was palpable. It was well paced and kept me stressed till the epilogue. Overall, this was a great time.

I not only enjoyed the story of these two girls finding their way back to each other (it is a romance...) and sifting through the grief of what they'd done, but I liked the world that was created. Some of it was common apocalyptic world, but I liked everything around the question of curing the disease (and that it wasn't a typical viral infection either).
