The characters were wonderful and I was rooting for them pretty much from the first page. And not gonna lie, the last few pages took my breath away with tension. I read this book so quickly because I had to know how these characters were doing and whether they would be okay.
I love post apocalyptic stories, and this one hit all the right beats. And the experience made it even better with the queer romance stringing it together. The world was wonderfully constructed and felt very real.
What I didn’t expect, however, was the conflicting and sad feelings due to it being about a pandemic. The fear of humanity being basically wiped out by a plague suddenly has become a lot more real.
Overall a fantastic book!

It didn't quite hit the mark for me though. I felt like there were many small things that irked me or just didn't work for me (and I think some of it has to do with this being a book targeted at teens and I'm in my late twenties). One thing that bothered me, was that I oftek struggled to tell the two narrators apart. I felt like their voices were quite similar a lot of the time.
I also felt like there were so many opportunities for foreshadowing that weren't taken advantage of, and in stead we get "by the way, I saw that thing way back when".
Mostly I enjoyed it though. It's a good book to pick if yoy enjoy post-apocalyptic cross country walks, slow building romance and queer teens!
