This book is set in a post-apocalyptic hellscape where most of the world's population has died and the folks that remain must battle daily against illness, injury, disease, and fending off violent roving gangs. It's an absolutely brutal existence where only the fittest survive. My favorite part of this book happens when our heroes are on a warpath to take back their bunker from a band of hostiles who've already murdered a bunch of their friends. One dude (not the love interest) tells the female main character that she's, like, really really pretty. Everyone in their group totally thinks so. And she doesn't even know it! This is vital information to communicate to the reader.
Second favorite moment communicates another similar yet critical piece of information. The set up: couple is about to have a baby, a very dangerous proposition in said post-apocalyptic Earth. The woman might very well die during childbirth given the lack of medical supplies and trained medical professionals. The couple takes a moment, in the midst of much handwringing about their future, to tell the female main character that she's, like, really really pretty and of course the male main character is into her, how could he not be? He looks at her all the time. She's so modest, she doesn't even know how pretty she is or how he looks at her.
