Really, really enjoyed this book. For the most part, very realistic and engaging. I thought Jo was a bit irritating every now and again...mostly when she had the balls to walk into the military camp with was flooded with THOUSANDS of people, and actually expected a doctor to GO TO HER HOUSE and help her husband. Seriously?? Who the hell does this chick think she is?
I also thought Tammy was a bit over-the-top. Who would put up with that kind of verbal abuse?? Kick her ass out and be done with it.
Overall though, great story. I discovered Jacqueline Druga less than a month ago, and this is my 8th book of hers that I've read. Absolutely LOVE her stuff.

I absolutely loved this "end of the world as we know it" story and finished it in just one day. I couldn't put it down! The writing style was similar to most YA that I enjoy in that it was straightforward and fast paced but the story itself seemed to be meant for adults, with adult characters, language, and situations. Definitely recommend this to fans of post-apocalyptic stories who enjoy a quick, exciting read.
