Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer

4.0

I bought this book after seeing it here on Goodreads in the post apocalyptic shelves. It definitely lives up to that.

After a meteor hits the moon and knocks it closer to earth life changes. People were not expecting the moon to be closer, the weather to turn sour or the collapse of society.

Living in their house and trying to survive the apocalypse is Miranda and her family. She journals everything right down to the arguments she has with her mum.

I found this to be a simple read, which is expected with a 16 year old narrator. The world is detailed and after reading it at night I was wondering how I'd survive in her place. Would I give up and die or fight on?

The book broke my heart several times but I needed to finish. I had to know if they'd device the winter.
