Ya'll what a ride. First of all, I would like to thank dear Imogen Keeper for the last three very very late nights that I couldn't put this book down. When I started reading After the Plague by Imogen Keeper, it felt very similar to the beginnings of covid which was an eerie connection for me. The book quickly became much much more. The world in a few short weeks overcome with a flu strain with an insane death ratio, that ends up wiping out almost everyone. It has an 80% death rate, but not everyone is susceptible. A small population never got sick at all, and these survivors built their new post-plague world.
One of our main character's Frankie seems immune to the flu variant, but gets through it with a deep heavy loss. She finds a boy, Auden, and his sweet collie named Beast. (The pupper in the photo is my own sweet collie boy, Benny!) The boy and his dog give her a reason to continue living. After settling in with Auden and his dog, she meets Yorke, and together they form a tight family-like unit. They begin looking for people like them in hopes to be a part of a bigger community.
If you're looking for a fast paced, slow burn post-apocalyptic romance that doesn't revolve around sex then I highly suggest this book. I'm looking forward to reading her next installment, safe.
