Jeneva- ma’am did you just make me cry during a zombie book? Not to mention the cliffhanger, there better be a second book. I hate to admit I have never read a zombie book and wasn’t sure I would like this one but love Jeneva so I had to try it. This book draws you in from the first chapter. As previously mentioned this book actually made me cry a few times. I loved Casey’s journey.

5 stars 🌟 I am truly obsessed with Jeneva Rose! I loved everything about Dating After the End of the World!! It’s the zombie apocalypse romance I never knew I needed!

What to expect:
✨ Zombie Apocalypse
✨ Enemies to Lovers
✨ Forced Proximity
✨ Thrilling
✨ Funny

Thank you to NetGalley and Montlake for the ARC. All opinions are my own 🫶🏼

This is my book of the year hands down, nothing will compare… ever… until the next Jeneva book comes out. It’s fast paced, thrilling, funny, heartbreaking. I was on the edge of insanity the whole time while she kept walking the like of humanity and humor. I relate a lot to Casey and Blake separately so seeing how this played out was really insane in the best way possible.

I loved this book so much! It’s a totally different style for me, as I’m more of a classic romance girl, but the twists and turns had me hooked! I mean, romance AND zombies? Who knew?!
Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Casey Pearson grew up with a "prepping" father and made her escape as soon as she reached adulthood. Over ten years later, when she is working at a hospital, a mysterious virus arrives. Soon people start turning into zombie-like creatures. Casey flees to her father's compound where several others, including Blake from high school, are gathered as well. Will they survive the zombies, have enough supplies, and possibly fall in love along the way? Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

YES times a million! Jeneva Rose can do NO wrong and this one didn't disappoint. This book is a phenomenally original and captivating read. From the start I was completely hooked and could not put it down. It was tense, yet funny, but also eerie, and believable. It's about a zombie apocalypse and is also an enemies to lovers romance, for goodness sakes. It's funny and a very unique story. It also has some badass fight scenes, we love strong women who can hold their own. This book was truly action packed from beginning to end. A fun wild ride. We’ve got action, romance, betrayal, zombies. But do we have a happy ending?

This was so cute. I liked the characters and the storyline. I did think there was a quick switch from enemies to lovers, I would have liked a more gradual change. I haven’t read an apocalypse book in a while so it was a fun change.

This was my most anticipated release of the year, and I’m so happy I got to read it early! I love zombie apocalypse shows and movies, and romance is one of my favorite book genres, so this book was perfect for me! The author did such a fantastic job blending genres, and they weren’t even genres she typically writes! I could EASILY see this becoming my favorite book of the year, and probably one of my favorite books in general. And after that ending, she better release another one in this world!!

Zombie apocalypse and love? What could go wrong?? Nothing, because Jeneva Rose did it again!

I really enjoyed this one, and feel honored to have been chosen to read this.

Though this is not Jeneva Rose’s typical read I found myself glued the entire book! Jeneva Rose’s humor and wit is ever so present in this one.

Thanks to Jeneva and NetGalley for the advanced copy.

OMG OMG OMG!!!!

This is not what I would typically read, but it was so good. The unexpected happened, and I was on the edge of my seat more than one. The romance mixed with zombies was perfect.


Jeneva hit it out of the park again.

She left my hanging, and I need to know what happens next. I need another one. Do they survive the shooting, and who is shooting?

I absolutely loved this book and for could have finished it in one sitting if it wasn’t for the responsibilities of having 4 children. I am not into zombie apocalypses. I am usually forced by my husband to watch them. But let me tell you this one was amazing!! I loved the explanation of how the zombie apocalypse came about and dealing with life afterwards. The enemy to loves part are spot on! Loved getting to know the characters and the building up to their relationship. This book was prefect and beautifully written! I laugh, cried, and felt all the emotions. I am praying and keeping my fingers crossed for a second book! I am very thankful for the opportunity to be given an opportunity to read this early! Can’t wait for the release!

I was lucky to get an advanced copy of Dating After the End of the World by Jeneva Rose. I don’t usually read romcoms, but when Jeneva called it “unhinged,” I had to see for myself and it did not disappoint! It felt like a Hallmark movie with a wild twist. Funny, fast-paced, and surprisingly sweet. I loved it!

This book was more amazing then I thought it would be not normally a zombie apocalypse type reader but now I want another one!!!!!!! Seriously go read this book!!!!

Funny, sad, and surprisingly hopeful — Dating After the End of the World is a genre-defying gem that had me laughing one minute and blinking back tears the next. Jeneva Rose has always been one of my favorite authors, but this book proves just how versatile and fearless she truly is as a writer. Stepping outside of her usual genre, she delivers a story that feels fresh, raw, and beautifully human.

The premise is clever: dating in a post-apocalyptic world isn’t exactly swipe-right territory but what really stuck with me was how deeply emotional the story turned out to be. There’s humor and romance, sure, but also grief, healing, and the quiet resilience of people trying to find connection when everything feels lost.

I didn’t know what to expect when I started, but I’m so glad I went along for the ride. Jeneva Rose nailed it. But I knew she would.

I have a lot of thoughts about this book.

But firstly, let me just say, i really enjoyed this. I think this is gonna be the start of a trend in more apocalypse romances (which yes pls i need more)

Jeneva does an excellent job creating the atmosphere of an apocalypse. there is some pretty gross body gore that i wasn’t expecting but was impressed by (brynne weaver would be proud, especially with the eyeball stuff). not only that, she def knows how to get your heart beating!! there were twists, tears, and racing hearts abound.

i loved this book so much i spent about 70% of it thinking it was for SURE gonna be a 5 star read.

it only fell a little flat for me when the two romantic leads got together. she was building such lovely and amazing tension between the 2 of them and i feel like it resolved out of seemingly nowhere. i would have loved to seen it drawn out just a little bit more and have them wait until blake wasn’t in a super sweaty, just barely recovered state. the little smut there was wasn’t the greatest, but i know that’s not Jeneva’s biggest strength so i don’t hold it against her. i also would have loved to see a bit more from some of the side characters, some of them seemed a little flat. that’s why it got knocked it to a 4-star for me, but do not misunderstand, i LOVED this book overall.

also, the ending. Jeneva… why would you do this to me. i will not be forgiving you anytime soon. I am keeping my eyes peeled for a sequel announcement.

Ooof, the ending of this one kind of broke me for a few days. I'm hoping we get another one in this universe though.

My VERY first zombie book! I absolutely loved it. There were so many times I just thought to myself am I really reading about an apocalypse?! Haha totally not my thing but I love Jeneva Rose! This book was so good. Only problem is I need the second book right now!!

Dating After the End of the World was such a refreshing and unexpected read—I absolutely loved it! Jeneva Rose brings together the chaos of a post-apocalyptic world with a surprisingly heartfelt (and often hilarious) romance.

Casey is a strong, independent woman, shaped by years of doomsday prep thanks to her dad. She knows how to survive when the world falls apart, but making it back to her father’s house after everything goes wrong turns out to be a lot harder than expected.

The real twist? When she finally gets there, she finds her childhood arch-nemesis not only alive and well—but best friends with her dad. Things quickly spiral into chaos in the best way possible. The banter, the tension, and the unexpected teamwork between these characters kept me hooked from start to finish.

This isn’t just a survival story—it’s about learning to let others in, even when your instincts tell you to go it alone. It’s funny, action-packed, and surprisingly touching. Definitely a book worth picking up if you like strong female leads, enemies-to-lovers dynamics, and a fresh take on the end of the world.

I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this, but wow—this book took me by surprise in the best possible way.

Jeneva Rose dives into apocalyptic romance with boldness and brilliance, delivering a story that’s as emotionally charged as it is suspenseful. It’s smart, eerie, unexpectedly funny at times, and deeply human. I found myself racing through the pages, totally immersed in this unpredictable, genre-bending journey.

What really stood out to me was how believable everything felt—even in the face of the end of the world. That’s no easy feat. Rose crafts a narrative that’s grounded, raw, and compelling from beginning to end.

She’s proven, once again, that she can masterfully write anything. This isn’t just a great apocalyptic romance—it’s a standout story, period.
