Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer

  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No

3.0

I really like the concept of this book and the plot kept me hooked all the way through, but I can't help but think that the diary format was just not the right choice for this one. It really pulls me out of the story when I am supposedly reading a diary where the girl is writing in perfect dialogue prose. I think it would have done better as a first person novel with diary elements. 

I love speculative fiction, probably my favorite genre, so this was a fun read!
