Afterworlds by Scott Westerfeld

2.0

2/5 Stars. I finished it, but almost did not want to. Afterworlds had a fairly strong start. The beginning of Darcy's book was very intriguing with the whole terrorist attack in an airport. Unfortunately after that I found it went all down hill. I just lost interest in Lizzie and Yama's story. It was way to instalovey. I honestly don't think Darcy's story would have done well on the market in the real world. The "real world" half of the book was not much better. Did not like Darcy at all. She made too many dumb decisions that really irritated me. You are handed $300000 and you just blow it on a overpriced apartment and food and unnecessary plane tickets... so irritatingly stupid! Smart thing would have been to get a part time job, stay at home, and invest the majority of that money. Sure you can say, "well, she's only 18". I can honestly say that 18 year old me would have invested that money.
