It's nice to see an end of the world story that deals a little in how people might actually react. (That's still mostly 'a lot better than I would', but that's neither here nor there.) I liked how each individual character's skills were important, but not so important that everything would be lost if that specific group of people hadn't happened to fall together. (I'm pretty sure Sloan is my favourite.) I'd love to read more in this series, there's plenty of room for it at the ending.
I am a little curious about one thing, but it's a spoiler, so don't read the next part if you haven't finished the book yet.
How come none of the teens knew about the survivor compounds before? Nadia and Jake have been wandering around, listening to the radio, for quite a while, but they never picked up these transmissions?
Still, it's a very tiny thing in a well written book. I hope there's more to come.
After disease and nuclear warfare decimate the world population, 17-year-old Nadia is sure she’s the last person left on Earth. She buries her before-the-end memories and focuses on survival. Then one night, she hears a voice on her radio and everything changes.
Nadia finds comfort in her new-found companions, but they also discover an unsettling thread tying them together: their shared birthdays. As they begin to unravel the mysteries surrounding their survival, they soon realize it was no accident, and that they could be in far more danger than they ever imagined…
Be advised, this novel contains discussions of self-harm and suicide.
