himalaya 's review for:

Hearts Still Beating by Brooke Archer

4.0

---

 oh the setup for this is so In The Flesh but lesbians (but also a bit more american setting & plot wise). Only mentioning because I love ITF a lot lol 

I liked this quite a bit! good characters and a focus on survival and how they deal with what they did and experienced during the apocalypse - while still being pretty action-packed and suspenseful. 

I did find it random how near the end they still hadn’t apparently figured out that they like each other romantically? when it seemed like they had clearly established that to each other? 

I also found it a little difficult initially to recognise the flashbacks - this may have been something to do with the audiobook narration not distinguishing it (with even a pause or slight change of tone) 

I did find one thing at the end a little silly, but I suppose it's a sort of poetic and hopeful way to end it

my exact reaction I wrote down  while listening: oh they cured it. FROM KISSING LOL
