All I can say is WOW. I just finished this book and it has left me a complete and utter puddle. No notes, pure glorious storytelling.
When I first heard of this book, I was wary that it would be a very similar of All That’s Left in the World, one of my absolute faves. I’m thrilled to say that this book is very singular and stands strongly in its own right, telling a very different post-apocalyptic tale that is uniquely its own and utterly enticing. Zach needs to be protected at all costs, he is such a great character and so well-written! Aiden also has my heart, and the two of them together?! *melts* they’re blossoming relationship is an incredible one to read through and while it can be a bit frustrating at times *cough Aiden cough* it is superb and totally feasible in its trajectory and intensity.
Speaking of intensity, the feelings in here are VISCERAL, I found myself constantly on the edge of my seat clutching for dear life as I was reading. The stakes are high and feel high in the absolute best way. I have to commend the storytelling here, it is enrapturing, feels fresh and utterly captivating. Very seamlessly executed and smooth from start to end. The characters are all complex and consistent as well.
Lastly: CURTISSSSSS 😭✊🏻
