Synopsis: It’s been over a month since Miranda Evans (from Live As We Knew It) has written in her diary and nearly one year since the catastrophic event of a meteor colliding with the moon. Miranda’s father, stepmother, and baby brother show up at her door. Accompanying them are three strangers: a man named Charlie Rutherford, and two teenagers, Alex and Julie Morales (from The Dead & The Gone).

But before Miranda and Alex can go off together, a devastating tornado hits the town of Howell, and in its aftermath, Miranda makes a decision that will change forever her life and Alex’s, and the world that they live in will never be the same. -Amazon

Review: So, I’ve been gushing about this series for a couple of weeks now ever since I picked up the first one (Life As We Knew It) and was hooked. This entire series has offered a relatively more realistic look than most apocalyptic YA books and for some reason, the entire concept really resonated with me. Anyways, books one and two each dealt with a different set of characters who came together for this final addition to the series.

Fair warning, despite this being the end of the series where everything should come together, this book is easily the most bleak of the series. What keeps you hanging on in this series is each tiny bit of good news and it just feels like there is so little in this final installment.

What I really love in this series is the characters and their relationships with each other. It really doesn’t matter where they are or what they’re doing, the beauty of this series is in their doing everything they can to protect the people the love.

Still without a doubt, a great series and one I will absolutely be rereading, I just wish it could have finished with a little more hope.
