Apocalypse gays were something I didn't know I needed but am glad to have! This really was a cute little book. The plot was meandering at times and a bit strung together, but I don't really think that was the focus of the book so it didn't take away any of the enjoyment for me.

I think the main focus of this book was on the relationships between people when the world as we know it has been turned upside down. There are themes of trusting in the human community and deciding what to fight for when it seems like humanity itself has already lost and, while this book felt lighthearted most of the time, there were ideals here that were genuinely touching.

Andrew and Jamie were, of course, adorable. The very serious background of the actual apocalypse being juxtaposed with just two teenage boys falling in love was unexpectedly precious. Even when the world has turned into a nightmare, there's still love. There's always love.
