a post apocalyptical adventure, a teenage romance, and the struggle to stay save, stay alive all coalesce into an amazing, unique story. a girl who cannot move on and a girl who cannot stay put, both circling around each other as they both try to survive in a world where resources are slim, and people are rare. a coming of age adventure that starts out surprisingly cozy, until it speeds up into a train wreck waiting to happen. secrets might tear these two lovebirds apart... if the storm that is coming doesn't do it first. it only gets worse when those secrets could very well risk the minimal safety they have left.

this book made me gasp, cry, and cringe. the author doesn't shy away from the grim reality of a world after everything else has gone to shit. of injuries, of fights, of attempting to stay safe. of doing everything you can to find food, and learning to trust another person even when your not so sure you should. a heartwarming tale of learning to love... and a nail biting journey of trying to protect what little you have left.
