Last Mom Standing by Mary Jane Owen is a surprisingly fun and refreshing take on the post-apocalyptic genre. While many stories in this space lean heavy into darkness and despair, this one keeps the stakes high but still finds room for humor, snark, and those “I can’t believe that just happened” moments.
The blend of zombies, danger, and well-timed comedic relief makes it an easy and entertaining read. The pacing moves quickly, and the main character’s voice feels relatable—like someone trying to survive the end of the world while still keeping her sanity intact. The mix of humor and death works well here, softening the intensity without ever taking away from the tension of their world.
If you enjoy post-apocalyptic fiction but want something that doesn’t take itself too seriously, this book delivers. It feels like the kind of story you can devour in just a few sittings and walk away saying, “That was wild, but in a really fun way.
