Me and my friend have both had this book on our shelves for ages and now we read it together! 
It was a bit slow in the beginning and I didn’t get that far in it before putting it down. So I wasn’t super interested in the beginning. 
But, as I was reading I got so hooked, I read like 2/3 of the book in like 36 hours (including sleeping and working). I was stuck, but there were some parts that I didn’t enjoy that much or feel weird about.

Them finding the Fosters and Jamie thinking about how he is in love, them kissing when they’ve been captured by propel who don’t like queer people and also the end meh

But overall it was a nice read, I was not ready for the more intense and “scary” parts of it!

I love the post-apocalyptic genre. I love the game Fallout, I read The girl with all the gifts when I was 18 and last year I read The book of Koli series (highly recomend)

Romance novels? Not usually for me. But what I think this book succeeded in was making it not about some elusive once in a lifetime love; the core romance felt authentic. And then there's the familal love, the friendships, love for media and the world that's left behind

The author didn't shy away from the ugliness that's inevitably left in the post-apocalyptic world. 

It reads like a video game, with the small side-quests, goals and moments of brief encounters or observations

I picked this up in a charity shop because I love the genre; I wasn't expecting anything groundbreaking but I got an sad, lovely narrative that was tense and a little dark

I really liked the characters, they made my heart all squeeze-y

The beginning of the book gave me a lot of anxiety, mostly because I kept imagining what I would do in their situation, and I wasn’t sure if I could actually read this. But the anxiety went away as soon as they got on the road (I think knowing, from the summary, that people come after them in the cabin had me on tenterhooks waiting for that to happen and I couldn’t relax)
