The Last Man is Mary Shelley's apocalyptic fantasy of the end of human civilisation. Set in the late 21st century, the novel unfolds a sombre and pessimistic vision of mankind confronting inevitable destruction.
Interwoven with her futuristic theme, Mary Shelley incorporates idealised portraits of Shelley and Byron, yet rejects Romanticism and its faith in art and nature.

Honestly, perhaps my biggest take away is normalizing this elevated vocabulary to (try and) adopt myself. So, my advice is that if you find a part dragging or less than your favorite, to tune into Shelly’s language.
It’s probably also a healthy exercise to meditate on values of life in general. You know. If the species were about en route to extinction and we needed to reprioritize.
Ultimately, realizing that the beginning captures normal life and the cadences of civilization/society gives contrast/weight/color to the severity of the plague I think Mary Shelly succeeded in her depiction of a memoir tied to the end of humankind.
Longer review and advice you didn’t ask for : )

I know some people would see this as a long story, but I never was bored or hoping it would hurry up and get somewhere.
My best advice would be just try it for yourself.
I am definitely going to look for more books by Mary Shelly (Frankenstein is her only other book that I have read), and more books narrated by Matt Bates. He really brought the book alive and made it feel like I was listening to a real person tell their story.
A great book, with a great story.
