Review: 2020.054 (A Word for Authors)
Pro: There’s plenty of tension and excitement, and it’s gratifying that the rest of the community eventually comes to rescue Brit and Marisol.
Con: Why did they leave the shelter in the first place? It seems like they just made the problem harder for them and everyone else.
The lesbian-separatist angle makes very little sense in the context of a zombie apocalypse. And what are they going to do with a baby boy?
