December 2023. The human race has fought a deadly virus and lost. The only things left from the world before are burning cities and rotting corpses.

But in London, one woman is still alive.

Although she may be completely unprepared for her new existence, as someone who has spent her life trying to fit in, being alone is surprisingly liberating.

Determined to discover if she really is the last survivor on earth, she sets off on an extraordinary adventure, with only an abandoned golden retriever named Lucky for company.

Maybe she'll find a better life or maybe she'll die along the way. But whatever happens, the end of everything will be her new beginning.

Praise for this book

"Finished this last night and haven't stopped thinking about it since! Possibly my fave read of 2020 - sharp, funny, emotional and a refreshingly different take on a post-apocalyptic world." - Lisa Hall

"A fresh, frank, funny and surprisingly uplifting book about the end of the world." - Elizabeth Kay

"I adored this book . . . It's about who you are with nobody to witness you, what it means to be human, and how to live (the answer is getting plastered in Harrod's, something we can all relate to)." - Gillian McAllister

"Really fun . . . like a dystopian Bridget Jones' Diary with echoes of Shaun of the Dead." - Kate Sawyer

"Brilliant. Creepy, witty, laugh-out-loud and shudder-inducing." - Harriet Walker
