About this listen
The end of everything was her beginning....
It's November 2022. The human race has been wiped out by the 6DM virus (Six Days Maximum - the longest you've got before your organs disintegrate and you melt from the inside out). The end of the world as we know it.
Yet someone is still alive. Alone in a new world of burning cities, rotting corpses and ravenous rats, one woman has survived. A woman who has spent her whole life compromising what she wants and hiding how she feels to meet other people's expectations. From her career to her relationships, to what she wears and where she lives, she's made a lifetime of decisions to fit what other people want her to be.
But with no one else left, who will she become now that she's completely alone?

Spellbinding
I read the book. I bought it on Audible . It’s the most original story I’ve read in years. I just loved it; it’s a cracking story filled with wit, wisdom, fear, and humour. Not a fluffy story a proper nail biter. I even shed a few tears along the way. Please, please write a sequel. I beg you. And thank you.

Loved this
I never write reviews and I'm not really a fan of apocalyptic fiction either but had to write something for this because I absolutely loved it. I found the character maddening and yet relatable, narration was fantastic, I even cried once. I can't wait to read this authors next book.

Best Book in Ages
I loved this book!! I didn't know how it would land for me, all things considered with the last few years, but it really triggered my imagination. I have struggled lately to find a book that I can stay with, but this is an audible 'page turner'. I recommend it totally and already have put several friends onto it, all are pleased with it so far. Great writer, look forward to her next. Let's hope its not about a world disaster as we will be forced to sit up and take notice.

Narrator deserves award
The narrator makes this book what it is. I'm not sure I would have finished it if I was reading it. The main character is quite unlikeable for the first half of the book and her back story doesn't make her any more likeable.
It's more self-discovery chic lit with the apocalypse as a plot device. There are some harrowing scenes but mainly it's just girl against nature.
She does grow on you and by the end you want her to do well, you are willing her to succeed.
All in all, I did only check how long left a couple of times, and listened to it over the course of a day and a half. Would recommend for a rainy afternoon but not as a holiday read. Especially not in the current environment.
It made me wonder if I should freshen up my survival skills though.

brilliantly written and narration was amazing
thoroughly enjoyed this book, and the narration judt made it even better! I was truly gripped throughout, some moments made me laugh out loud, others had been welling up. I'm so glad I listened on audible as opposed to reading it, the narrator was really excellent.

Gripping
The narrator was excellent. Kept you interested in her story both then and before I couldn’t wait to find out more. The final part of her diary I was there feeling every moment.

I am so sad it ended.
The best book I have listened to this year. I was there with her every step of the way, I could see everything, the author painted such a good picture. I was invested from the first to the last page. My only complaint is I wish it was longer. I am usually far too lazy to leave reviews but I had to on this one. Love yourself before it's too late and treat yourself to this little gem.

perfect narration
I have read this book and then had to download the audiobook a few months later. Clift has a brilliant way of creating a character that feels so real. Our narrator isn't perfect, she is relatable flaws and all. Such a brilliant story and unlike anything else I have read. The narrator is perfect and I love the soundscapes on some of the chapters. I have just downloaded Bethany's newest book and hoping I love it as much!
Apparently a sequel to LOATP is coming and I honestly cannot wait.

The Narrator and Sound team could not have done more. Bravo!
Wow. This was more like listening to a drama on Radio 4 than an audio book. Very cleverly put together in terms of sound and extra effects that didn’t detract from the story. Fantastic narrator, well actor in true flow really! I had the hard copy of the book but having started reading it I am glad the dog wanted walking and I started listening instead. Very pleased I did.
