Thank you to Netgalley and Fitzcarraldo for the eARC of It Lasts Forever and Then it’s Over!

Poetic writing as we follow the narrator on her journey through an apocalyptic world and her own grief. Literary fiction is always 50/50 for me but I was pulled into this story! Poignant moments that had me reflecting and pausing to sit with the questions/observations.

There isn’t much of a plot but the descriptions and inner thoughts of our narrator drove the story, making me not want to put it down!

I didn’t quite realize this book featured Zombies 🧟‍♀️ The synopsis used the word “undead” but I think I skimmed over that or forgot before reading it because I was surprised 😅 I don’t typically like zombie stories but I was so intrigued by the writing and the narrator that I actually kind of enjoyed this different type of zombie/undead story!

I’d recommend if you’re intrigued by zombie stories but don’t enjoy excessive blood/gore and want something different in this genre. Also for people who enjoy explorations of grief, lyrical prose, and reflections on human nature 💙
