![]() ![]() That being said, Olivia is also one of the least consistent characters I've ever come across. I guess that part where she denied being fed with meat triggered a lot of starving meat-lovers out there. ![]() That's one of the coping mechanisms we have at our disposal and to put many unpalatable labels on her just because her psyche dealt with "the end of the world" in a less logical and effective manner than readers expected? That's a simplistic approach. Nonetheless, her attitude can be easily explained: people often stick to old habits and cling to the things that once constituted normalcy to them. Her survival skills indeed suck and I have no idea how she had been surviving on her own for almost half a year. In the post-apocalyptic world, her vegetarian status might seem stupid, irrelevant and even bratty to many. I tried to find a negative review for this book that captures the story's weak points, so I could let it go and not write a review myself (savvy bitch that I am), but all I came across were the complaints about Olivia (h) and her irrelevant first-world problems and I thought huh? that's the worst you can? □Īlthough Olivia is not one of my favorite heroines, far from it, I wouldn't say that the book's major issue was her adamant refusal to eat meat after having been starved for days. ![]() If this hero got paid every time he asked the heroine " what's wrong with you", he'd be richer than Zuckerberg - one of his key personality traits too. ![]()
