Really wanted to love this one because I love boy bands, classic 90s girlie here but overall the story was lacking a sense of direction.

There are so many characters and POVs that you can get lost in just trying to figure out what is happening and what is important. I would have loved if the story focused just on Annie and Keith, they had such great chemistry and both were going through it but these two kept me entertained.

✨️Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an early arc for a honest review.

Opposites attract and while the apocalypse zombie world is probably not the best location for a love story, this one will keep you hooked.

Meet Maisie, a doomsday prepper who has escaped a wild childhood to live life to the fullest and then as luck would have it, a virus is unleashed and everything goes absolutely off the rails. Good thing for Maisie, her last date before the apocalypse was a beautiful man named Everett who has an adorable cat named Chicken, a film professor and is a recent widow. Forced together by apocalypse, they must make sense of their new lives and each other.

These two are hilarious on their own but together, they had me in absolute shambles. I loved their adventures through the apocalyptic world, but also how much they communicated with each other. They barely knew each other and had to lean on each other very quickly to survive and it was an adventure to rea

Overall this is a great book with a lot of hilarious moments but also serious ones too. There is a focus on family and trauma that both Maisie and Everett have experienced and the author did such a good job bringing those to light and how each had their own different journey. I could go on and on about the side characters in this story as well, I loved Gramps character the most because he reminded me of some characters I have met in my lifetime. Each character really brought something to the overall story but also to the Maisie and Everetts growth throughout as well.

If you are someone who always wanted a love story in a zombie movie then this story will need to be on your TBR immediately. Absolutely entertaining story of two chaotic, very much opposites characters who didnt go looking for love because of said zombie apocalypse but it just zapped them at the right time.
