An absolute bliss of a book! The setting is well made and the characters are so easy to fall in love with! Both Andrew and Jamie have great character development and their love story is extremely well build up! The drama and fear also peaks at certain points and overall the ending is beautiful made as well :)

As someone who gets a tiny bit of anxiety over apocalyptic situations, you can bet a good portion of these books was giving me the willies. However the sweet, slow budding relationship that grows between Andrew and Jamie was enough to set me at ease through the more harrowing parts. I loved Andrew sense of humor and Jamie's practicality. They naturally play off together so well and carry an engaging dynamic. 

The world felt so rightfully empty, yet still full of hope in small places. There was a good complexity to our main characters, who have done what they can to survive and find themselves tested at almost every moment. It really gives you a look into how desperate people become when faced with truly hard situations, showing how they either grow stronger or take advantage of the misfortune and fear of others. 

I'm so glad I read this just as the sequel is coming out. I want more!
