This book was simply lovely! I was quite excited for it from the premise alone, but getting into it, I realized how very emotional of a story it would be. The main characters are alone- not just without family and loved ones, but without a WORLD. The author does a tremendous job of painting the landscape of this desolation, how empty it feels. It's haunting, and incredibly thought-provoking, as I was unable to refrain from considering how I would handle such a situation (not well, frankly).
It's very character driven and emotional, but still being exciting and readable. The thought of a pandemic apocalypse is, of course, eerily relevant, but luckily it differs just enough from our current situation to not totally terrify.
My only minor complaint would be about the end- I don't know if I am quite satisfied? But enough so that I still wholly recommend the book, especially if you're looking for a post-apocalyptic book with a lot of unique elements!
4.5*
