My Rotten Love Life by Lyra Winters
3.0
MY ROTTEN LOVE LIFE was a fairly simplistic post-apocalyptic romance featuring a small group of survivors a few years after a zombie outbreak. I liked Tori as our FMC, she's tough, brave, and fairly introspective and I was happy to see her find love with each of her guys, Micah, Nathan, and Calix. The relationship is definitely a case of insta-lust and insta-love and for the most part I didn't mind it except in the case of Calix. Within 3 days of knowing each other Calix, who is germaphobic, is going on about wanting to touch Tori and they even have sex even though Calix will barely tolerate touch from Micah and Nathan who he's been living with for a year. He's been germaphobic since he was a child and he's suddenly getting over that? It just didn't feel natural.
This had its strong points but it also had some plot holes, some survival facts that didn't seem quite right, and a few parts were a bit over-wrought. There was also a character that dies at the end for no apparent reason other than the shock value and it just felt unnecessary.
Content Warning: past hysterectomy; on page animal death; germaphobic MC; references to suicide; slut shaming from a side character; death and gore
