I loved how their relationship developed from untrusting strangers, to friends, to more than friends, and I loved the banter in between. Reading about how they grow, overcome their pasts, and how they face difficult situations side by side really pulled on my heart strings. I absolutely love Andrew and Jamie’s journey. The pacing was quite fast and with the build up of tension that happens quite quickly, I found myself flying through it. I had no trouble at all in getting lost in this book. The world building throughout was good and really helped me to submerge myself in this post-apocalyptic world. Andrew is openly gay and a full-on sarcastic film fanatic, while Jamie, who's very strong minded and responsible is just figuring out that he’s Bi, and we see him struggle with that too. An altercation with a hostile group then forces Andrew and Jamie to leave the cabin.Īndrew and Jamie are two very different people. They’re both very untrusting and wary of each other at first, but after spending weeks isolated together we start to learn about the struggles that both have endured since the start of the flu, and how it’s practically wiped out the human race. Finding some medical supplies, a pantry full of food and Tom Holland wouldn’t hurt either. “I’ve been hobbling through the woods for the past day and a half looking for some shelter and a way to clean my wounds. Andrew stumbles across the cabin where Jamie resides after being injured in a bear trap.

Ok, so I really didn’t think this book would be my cup of coffee, mainly because of the whole post-apocalyptic 'super flu' setting, but I was intrigued as I don’t think I’ve read anything similar, and I’ll be the first to tell myself that I need to try new things… and truth be told, I’m really glad I did.Īndrew and Jamison have managed to survive the super flu and collide into each other’s lives, and we start our journey with them.
