Until the End of the World by Sarah Lyons Fleming

3.0

According to the internet Until the End of the World by Sarah Lyons Fleming is supposed to be one of the best zombie apocalypse books ever, but having read it I'm left confused. Why? There is nothing new or unique about this book, unless you consider a passive aggressive prepper Mary Sue to be special. There's no heartbreak; every climactic point peters off into nothing; half the characters are interchangeable and lack personalities; there's hardly any struggling for survival; deus ex machina appears multiple times. The protagonist Cassie spends most of the book hung up on an ex for some reason the reader is never privy to. Oh, and perhaps my biggest complaint: every heterosexual character ends up with a happy ending (hfn tbh since it's the apocalypse) while the gay character is left with bupkis. Dude is honestly a badass who spends the whole book suffering and doesn't even get anything to show for it at the end! Ugh. Infuriating.

Still going to finish the series though. I'm just in a zombie apocalypse kind of mood these days I guess (just wanting to read about myself RIP) ;_;
