What a great read! It is so difficult to write an entertaining book that has one character for the majority of the word count, but Rachel Sharp did it, and with bountiful humor too. There were some decisions that Mab made that seemed like Obviously Bad Decisions when, to me, there were Obviously Better Decisions, which sometimes drew me out of the story, and I did see a typo or too, but in general, I'd say this book was well-written, funny, endearing and, somehow, had a happy ending (spoiler alert). I will definitely be looking for more from here!

Started reading this earlier this year. Was a bit too stressful to read back then, but came back to it because it was really good, and finished it within a few days.

Review to come soon!My husband and his friend have zombie-preparedness plans. In fact, he’s so serious about them that we had zombie plans IN OUR WEDDING VOWS. Not even kidding.
But ya’ll, when it comes to fight or flight…I HIDE. So I completely related to Mab when she hid and hid and hid some more until she finally could nit hide anymore. When she came out of that third story apartment to realize “Um, hey, where’s everybody at? OH SHIT!” I almost died. Of course…so did Mab.
The Big Book of Post-Collapse Fun is written like a travel memoir–think Wild if Cheryl Strayed were walking the PCT while it was exploding. It’s also SUPER campy, thanks to Sharp’s incredible sense of humor. It’s equal parts serious, as in, OMG THE SUPER VOLCANO IS HAPPENING, but also HEY LET’S STEAL A HOT AIR BALLOON.
By the way, I would be dead, in this scenario because the Midwest just falls into a cavernous lake. All those dreams of Florida falling off into the sea? Nope. Rachel Sharp killed the Midwest. Thanks Rachel Sharp. Love you too.
I do though. This book is the very last book of 2016, and what a way to end the year. Actual fire and brimstone. Sounds about right.
