Really enjoyed this

I really like the strong heroine in this story. Unlike some apocalyptic stories this didn’t seem far fetched. Good story and people to root for - my kind of book. The narrator was really good as well. I will be waiting for the next one.

Unrealistic with almost likable characters

This could have been so much better. The characters were close to being likable, but not quite. The heroine spent 3/4 of the book ranting about how much she hated guns & all the reasons they were evil. Even after she realized the blackout was from an EMP she still thought the power would magically come back on at any minute. The parts that should have great detail did not; the mundane parts had slightly more. Apparently the characters could go days without water- that oversight was distracting. It read like a rough draft.

Not worth it

The author obviously does not like men. They are either creeps or wimps. The MC also doesn’t like men. She is also a super woman w/o the background to be so. Stuck with it thinking the MC would get better as she moved thru scenarios. Nope. And author also does not write the way normal people would think or speak. She’s smart....ok we get it...

I really enjoy it

I listened almost straight thru. definitely a good thriller with believable scenarios.
I hate this 15 word minimum. 🙄

Mehhh

Main character spends the first part of the book complaining about the evil of guns then spends the rest of the time wishing she had one. Secondary character says in the first part of the book stating how all white people are racist. The writer needs to better know his audience.
