How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff
3.0

There were parts of this book that I really loved -- but much of the time I felt like I was reading it through a fog. The pacing was really, really fast which made it hard to appreciate the gravity of certain moments. On one hand, this makes the setting of the story -- mostly war-torn rural England -- really come alive ... but it also left me feeling slightly disconnected from the characters.
