All That's Left in the World by Erik J. Brown
Did not finish book. Stopped at 21%.
on hold @ 21%
I was ready to procrastinate so many tasks for this book, but it's just not giving me what it should be giving me, like distinctive narration voices, for instance. and one of the mc's just did something I despise: deliberately chose not to tell the other their little paradise was being watched. in the fucking apocalypse. would it have changed much in their current situation if he hadn't kept info to himself? probably not, but I hate convenient dumb shit like this. also, as a brazilian, I'm not getting/caring for half of the jokes/references, so there's that.

was watching The Last of Us ep3 and remembered I had an apocalypse book on my romance tbr. it's literally that episode but ya, and instead of a grumpy-sunshine couple there's a oblivious-outgoing type of duo? and no zombies, just a new covid. the writing is solid for a debut book, but I'm not sure if it will be enough in the long run: the setup seems a little too easy. and unfortunately I do have a thing called job, so maybe I shouldn't focus on finishing both the book and the show this week anyway.
