I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.
When the asteroid hits and the world falls apart, I'm seventeen, and my dad buys us a place in an underground bunker. We're supposed to be safe down there, but we're not. Gradually, I lose everything until all I have left is a bewildering relationship with a stoic, unknowable man.
As one of the guards in the bunker, Grant has lurked in the background of my life for years, teaching me to defend myself, making sure I'm safe, and infuriating me by treating me like a sheltered princess in a tower. I don't even know if he likes me, even after we end up in bed together. All I know is that he's always there beside me—during the bleak half-life of the bunker and the hostile, unfamiliar world we discover when we finally come out of lockdown.
Maybe one day he'll open up. Let down his walls. And maybe eventually our days can be about more than surviving... Maybe I am one of the lucky ones, but right now all I have left in the world is him.

She had her good moments, her being whiny, sheltered and constantly assuming stuff out of nowhere was absolutely believable considering her life before the asteroid and her age, but I still found myself getting frustrated or tired of her at times. Grant was so much better!
overall not a bad read, but I wouldn't re-read, if that makes sense.
Still a really good book 📚

Contrary to the cover and summary, this is a closed door apocalypse where, aside from the death of one good guy with a name and dialogue (to bring home the hardship of the new world), there’s only nameless redshirt death against enemy gangs who are likewise nameless and voiceless. That’s okay, though, because it’s all about the romance.
I enjoyed Olivia and Grant’s story, although it felt like things ran long after the big battle with an HEA delayed simply because of their failure to communicate.
Closed door apocalypse, open door sex
