lalauren04's review against another edition
3.0
3.5 stars - This is definitely quite different to the other books I've read by RJ. I enjoyed it, even if it wasn't my favourite of her stories. The only major issue I had with this was the epilogue. I usually like epilogues, but I felt that this one extended over too much time and put a bit of a damper on an otherwise relatively happy ending for Nathan and Ryan (or as happy as they could be in the aftermath of all that drama and chaos).

More of a 3.5 rounded up. I am not really sure I got to know Ryan, I felt like the love story needed to be explored more. It was like getting in on the middle of a movie where you could follow everything but still feel like you are missing something. The Epilogue was good though in tying up loose ends. And the story of the quake I think totally stole the show...

Reading the second edition.
I did enjoy it! RJ Scott’s writing pulled me in and had me gripped in the story so much it just flew by!
We don’t get much about Ryan and Nathan before disaster strikes. Then it is all about survival. I was certainly feeling the anguish and the ‘what now’ feelings and the horror at the immediate deaths around them, the magnitude of the catastrophe, the decisions to be made, how even safety isn’t always safe.
I don’t know how accurate moving with their injuries would be but adrenaline does make lots possible. The kids without families are tragic. And long term aftermath.
I did have some questions unanswered but definitely a 3.75/4* read for me!

I like RJ Scott books and liked this one...but the whole time felt like I wanted more. It was certainly interesting but I didn't feel like I got to know Ryan and Nathan very much. The epilogue tied some loose ends, but I STILL WANTED MORE.
