If you want to read a good apocalyptic novel, there are far better options. This book has several major issues and plotholes. 1. Plot: World building is minimal. The space is a catch all and isn't well described. The zombification isn't given enough detail. Does a zombie scratch make you a zombie? How do you kill a zombie? Are they slow/fast/blind or can they smell you? Zilch.Zip. Nada. Nothing at all. 2. Characters : All characters seem very one dimensional. FL: Ditzy at worst, naive at best. I am surprised that she doesn't try to check in with her parents and husband daily in an apocalypse. I feel like throttling her. If you lived away from parents/SO in the early days of the lockdown, you can probably relate. I assume that a zombie apocalypse woud be a thousand times worse. ML: ML sets out to rescue his wife, and ends up picking up her parents, and even random strangers before getting to her house. Even if they aren't close, this is pretty weird. 😒😒 Alternate suggestions if you like this genre: Coming of the apocalypse queen: on your knees young emperor Rebirth of the apocalypse queen

LIKEShe could not check up with her parents because there is no phone,power, network I can agree about the husband picking up people but it maybe because his work place is closer to their place overall it is actually nice and them being apart makes it more interesting cause if she gets together with the ML immediately it will definitely be boring.
Agree that it might be boring If they met each other early but that does not change stuff. Right until FL lost her phone, she was able to go online and see posts and such. And when the reason for plotline is just "because this would be boring " and no other reason, its just bad writing. If the parents were picked up first because they are on the way, then why isn't it told. Adding enough motivation and background to worry would make this clearer.
