Why read it?
1 author picked Survival Instincts as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a post-apocalyptic book set well after a war decimated civilisation. We follow two main characters, and it was lovely to see their relationship unfold and grow.

This is for those who are more romantic at heart, as romance is a major part of the book. I really liked the characters. Plus, there’s a dog!
From Amy's list on post-apocalyptic with a variety of 'apocalypses'.
