I enjoyed the premise of this book as I’m a fan of sci-fi and - I guess you’d call it - “post-apocalyptic” setting. I love to imagine what I would do at the end of the world, and if I would be able to survive if things fall apart on Earth. The story was extremely imaginative but the YA melodrama can be a little much at times with everybody hemming and hawing over their emotions and punching each other when relationships don’t go their way.
