I really enjoyed this book! A lot more than I thought I would. I flew through this in one sitting, it was such a quick read. I relate to Liz, like I really think that I'd be her in this situation. As much as I'd like to think otherwise after years of watching and reading dystopian stories, I honestly think I'd find a safe place and try to keep some normalcy in my life. Its not something you tend to see in media and its refreshing. Not everyone is going to turn into this survivalist superhero if the world ends and its good for kids to hear that. Loved it.

A beautiful, heart ache of a novel that feels like a strikingly original take on the dystopian story. The voice is so real, and the perspective and the way the story unfolds was very moving.

Wow!!! I saw the title and thought "yes, i'm in!" - who wouldn't want to be in the "last bookstore on earth". Buckle up Buttercup you are in for one helluva ride! This book has everything. The doomsday prepper, the angst teenager, a bookstore, unrequited love, family drama, knives, blood, then a bit more blood, oh and did i mention a bookstore ?
Liz, the main character, is so well drawn, yes she is a lesbian but that is not the main thing, the thing is the world has ended as we know it. Acid rain has melted flesh and bones, very few survive and certainly not unscathed be it mentally or physically.
If you enjoyed the tv drama "The Last of Us" then this is definitely for you!
