Nicky believes three things that aren't true. She thinks the apocalypse was a horrible accident. She assumes her dream of being a journalist died along with most of humanity. And she's sure that she's straight. She's about to meet someone who'll make her question all three – it's just a shame she's the worst woman in what's left of the world.

Meredith's the most dangerous person Nicky's ever met – not to mention the most infuriating. So why can't she stop thinking about her? And if Meredith's right, what will those responsible for ending the world do when they realise Nicky's on their tail?

The Last Woman on Earth is the first of a new trilogy about post-apocalyptic monsters, deep platonic friendships, a messy romantic one, and the fact that sometimes what you think you want, isn't what you really need.
