The Last 8 by Laura Pohl

Prompt: Bi-/Pansexual/-romantic mc

Other prompts it fulfills: Aromantic mc

Clover Martinez has always been a survivor, which is the reason she isn’t among the dead when aliens invade and destroy Earth as she knows it.

Clover is convinced she’s the only one left until she hears a voice on the radio urging her to go to the former Area 51. When she arrives, she’s greeted by a band of misfits who call themselves The Last Teenagers on Earth.

Only they aren’t the ragtag group of heroes Clover was expecting. The seven strangers seem more interested in pretending the world didn’t end than fighting back, and Clover starts to wonder if she was better off alone. But when she finds a hidden spaceship within the walls of the compound, she doesn’t know what to believe…or who to trust.

My thoughts

How would it be to survive the end of the world? Not fun and giggles, that’s for sure.

Clover is a very likable character. I liked the dynamic between her and her grandparents.

I had hoped to see more of the relationship dynamics between Clover and Noah, but the guilt she had over not loving him was very relatable. Her reasons for starting a relationship with him are the same I had when starting my one and only romantic relationship.

I realised that I really shouldn’t have read the blurb, because I kept waiting for someone to find that spaceship.

I will go back to read the sequel, because I do want to know what happens to the team next.
