4.75
A really good post-apocaltpse book, and a lovely slow-burn romance. I couldn't justify 5 stars because it does time skips sometimes and they annoy me - also the bit which sets up the ending could be more developed But I really like the characters, the setting and worldbuilding is wonderful, and there's real tension to it, which compliments the post-apocalypse theme. All the elements are done well and come together well - strongly recommend.
