The Last Woman in the World
Dystopian, Thriller

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This author has a great writing style. While it can be a little info dumpy at times, the author has a way of delivering one-liners or paragraphs that were perfectly creepy and actually made me stop and think "oh sh*t", and it really developed the atmosphere well.
I was kept on the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading and I actually found myself tensing at certain scenes without realising it. Once I picked this book up, I just couldn't put it down.
Rachel was a great character. As someone with anxiety, I found her character so relatable. She was well written and nicely developed. I liked the slow reveal of her past throughout the book alongside her growing relationship with Hannah and Isaiah. Hannah was a good balance to Rachel, she helped her keep calm when needed and I think she played a big part in Rachel's growth, mentally.
This book was a rollercoaster but in the best way. There were times when I smiled at Rachel's and Hannah's memories but there were also times when I got emotional at certain events.
The ending was a little flat though. I'd love to know more about the creatures, where they came from or what created them and I'd like to know what happens next to the survivors and the rest of the world.
While this book had similar vibes to Bird Box by Josh Malerman, it was still original and I will definitely be reading more books by Inga Simpson.
