"We can all be scared, but staying together is what makes us strong."

what a nice story this has been! I can't explain how much I enjoyed it–post apocalypse stories are my thing and, surprisingly, it never occurred to me to read a book with that premise. tbh I never thought it would deliver so good!

both Andrew's and Jamie's journey were amazing, and the characters development? absolutely speechless. how they kind of trade places–andrew trusting people while jamie doesn't, it added more suspense to everything. not knowing who you can trust and how they had to manage to survive always got me in edge.

the cast of characters were something so good too! shot out to taylor and the kid, specially these last one, he definitely wins best new character.

I don't know why but it didn't reach five stars, even tho I truly liked it, but somehow didn't hit as hard as the first book.
