A story about two boys falling in love and trying to become better in a post-apocalyptic setting (no zombies, unfortunately for me). I ended up crying myself to sleep after the roller-coaster of those last 100 pages lol it was worth it because the story was funny, beautiful and hopeful. It provides a realistic but hopeful (vs the bleak view of other stories) interpretation of a world destroyed by a pandemic and the characters are lovely and complex.

I absolutely loved this book. It was so sweet, even in the darkest parts I still felt hope for the characters and for humanity.

I really enjoyed this book, I thought the relationship between the boys was sweet, and I found it interesting the presentation of how different people would cope with the end of the world and what would become of society. I also appreciated how despite having dark themes it was overall quite lighthearted, with some humour in it, and an easy read.

I pretty much can’t fault this. I wish the characters were a little older but that’s a me thing. 

For once the pop culture references didn’t annoy me! It actually felt pretty realistic for teenage boys to use them as a coping mechanism in this setting. 

This was tense yet so heartwarming and now I’m feeling gay and emotional. It had some really good messages about hope, good people, shitty governments in pandemics, and love.
