I just started the Passage trilogy (per this sub’s recommendation) and it is the most unputdownable read I’ve had in more than a year. The first two books took me 12+ hours each (and I’m a relatively fast reader) and I’m just starting the 3rd.
Setting is basically the future post virus vampire-y/zombie apocalypse type world. I don’t even like zombie stories or shows but still could not get enough of this story.

1984 has some romance no?

Chain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah will always be my dystopian rec.

Wanderers by Chuck Wendig might fit. It’s a long book, and there is a romantic arc, although it’s secondary to the general dystopia. There’s also a sequel, equally long.
