I’m sorry but I cannot like this book. I know the other is young and self published but this was just not good. I finished the book because j was intrigued on how the story would go but I regret it because it made absolutely no sense and everything was so rushed for the entire last half. Furthermore, how are you in a 15+ year apocalypse but you somehow have access to years worth of hair dye, ICE CREAM???, AND EGGS/BACON??? There is no mention of any farm or farm animals and they also can’t go outside without radiation poisoning so obviously all the animals are dead so like what the heck? The romance was so extremely rushed and juvenile even though I think these characters are supposed to be in their twenties. They speak too matter of factly and this just seems like an odd fanfic. The monsters and apocalypse makes no sense, they somehow find each other without communication, and then there’s weird plot points that were so unneeded. Overall, I do think the writing was technically good in regard to grammar and descriptions but not dialogue. I think the author would be better off writing poetry!
