I love Saff and Maddie with all my heart. Maddie’s pov was especially interesting to read because she’s blind, yet her chapters never felt lacking in any way. I very much enjoyed the post apocalyptic setting and the more tense, zombie action sequences. I will say that I missed a more clear explanation for how the apocalypse began and just more exposition. I also wish there was perhaps a larger goal besides ‘find safe-house, kiss girl’, but that might just be because I’m used to characters finding a cure or overthrowing the government in a post apocalyptic setting. Despite that, reading this book is what I looked forward to every night and it was great overall. The writing flowed and the relationship was one worth rooting for. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go make some popcorn.
