3.0
Day After Disaster is a great example of the many many ways our world could once end – Mother Nature getting tired of humans and their poor treatment of the Earth. This book is well-written and provides us with some very helpful survival tips, however it did not fully deliver for me.
I think my biggest problem was the huge amount of plot convenience and while the book was mostly realistic (which I liked), the series of events were sometimes just way too ideal. I loved Star and her relationship with Erika, but other than the little girl, none of the characters really stole their ways into my heart. I agree with other reviewers that the book could've used some/better editing because it has great potential, but consists of too many scenes and lines that don't add anything to the story and are not really necessary, making those parts a bit slow and boring.
I'm excited to find out what's going on in the other parts of the world! It would be nice to know more about how others are dealing with the apocalypse and how it appears in different areas.

This book was obnoxiously christian and sexist despite having a female main character. I would not say it was well-written enough to make suffering through the idiotic parts worthwhile but I do like post-apocalyptic books so that's the only reason why it gets any stars.
