I came across this book on TikTok, and I didn't give it much thought at the time I saw it. But recently I've been wanting to read more found family-tropes, as well as more LGBTQA+ literature, and How We End crossed my mind. We meet BIPOC and queer main characters here, which is right up my alley!

We are quickly introduced to two POVs: Jack and Liv. Jack is on the tub on his way to meet Megan, his fiancée. Liv is fresh out of prison, and at a bar for the first time in a while. Suddenly the tub stops for several hours before Jack gets to meet Megan, the lights go out, and random people come knocking on Liv's car while she's sleeping off the hangover. Before they can do anything, the apocalypse is coming, and the strangers Jack and Liv need to make alliances. Infected are roaming the streets, and they have to do everything in their power to survive. 

It's an easy read, and I know London well enough to 'see' where the characters are, and there was a map in the book if you aren't familiar with London. This made it easy to get into, and I really needed that during my reading slump!
The chapters are short, but not disruptive to the plot and story. It's mainly plot-driven, but the characters are also important. The characters makes the found family trope after all, so they are of great importance too.
I have tried to read books about zombie apocalypses before, and I didn't really enjoy them. That was also the reason why I dismissed the book the first time I saw it. But the found family trope really made this work for me, and I loved the characters so much. Jack and Liv, and the other sidekicks, were so loveable. You'll definitely come across several characters that you'll love, just like I did. The plot isn't that complicated or intricate, but I really needed something easy while I was in a reading slump.
I will definitely continue this series!
