Review: I wanted to smack the heroes upside the head

The post-apocalyptic premise is full of potential and some of the details that the author included in the story makes me think she could eventually get to some good story-telling. However, at this point the characters are not very likable (whiny, pulling stupid stunts) and their emotional development is so jerky, it could give you whiplash. Within what seemed to be a 48-hour period, one of the main characters confronts his lifelong demons and gets over them? And the other main character, who is supposed to care for him, is completely unsympathetic? Not people I can like. But more than that, the dialogue amongst all the characters just felt fake. I checked my kindle multiple times to confirm I was almost done before committing to finish this book. With some more experience, good feedback on the writing and an editor, this author could create something worth reading and caring about. Unfortunately, this book isn't it.
