Women are traded like objects and every person is out for themselves. *Instead of being consumed by shock and grief after a virus has decimated the population leaving few men and even fewer women alive, men have morphed into crazed rapists within weeks. She has apparently been unconscious for weeks with no life support. *In a blatant rip off of The Walking Dead the story opens as the 'unnamed midwife' awakens in the hospital she works in to find that the world has turned into Mad Max. There's little visual description and many logical inconsistencies. She has no goals or hopes of a better life and she just wanders around aimlessly. The main character is not relatable at all. The plot starts out well but then becomes bogged down and tedious, and the writing is just bad. The framing device at the start is pointless, and it jumps around from journal entries to limited third person to omniscient narration with no rhyme or reason. Structurally, this book is a hot mess, but that's the least of its problems.
