4.0

This was a really engaging read! I loved how the two characters perspectives felt really different and distincts, amplified by their different thought patterns and humor. The plot felt more adventurous than structured which works for post apocalyptic. Their relationship was very cute and it was fun to root for them.

Vague spoilers about the ending:
I think the book had a lot of cynicism about what the world would look like after an apocalypse which I personally didn’t agree with- I was hoping they would come around to the idea of community at the end but it was open ended, which sure, makes sense given all they went through but I would have loved to end the story on a happy note.
