It's just lazy world-building. Bell uses shortcuts wherever possible just to avoid creating a realistic world. 25 years after the apocalypse and they have a functioning power grid and apparently working distilleries. Plus everyone is nice, not at all a dog eats dog type of world. Plus the main character is 15yo who is so much more competent than other more experienced survivors. But it has its moments. 2.5/5. Average

I just started yesterday. So far, the post-apocalyptic realism is extremely lacking. E.g., At least 15 years after the apocalyptic event, she just finds a parked Jeep by a beach and drives off - 1) regular gas would stop working after around three years, 2) the tires - come on, 15 years - would be flat. And there, so far, never seems to be a lack of food. She just waltzes into a convenience store and hauls food.
