This World We Live lacks many of the things, I loved in the two previous novels in this series. It is a huge let down. The character development changed and some of the characters are nearly unrecognizable.
The story line is not nearly as interesting and the book does NOT stand on its own, you MUST have read the previous two, in order to get an understanding of what is going on.
I am left unsatisfied and unfortunately this is the last novel in the trilogy so you get no true conclusion on this apocalyptic novel.
I would still recommend it because the first novel, Life as We Knew it leaves you emotionally charged and The Dead and the Gone gives you another prospective.
Check it out or borrow it.
Grade: C+
Synopsis
The heart-wrenching companion to the bestselling novels Life As We Knew It and The Dead & The Gone.
It’s been a year since a meteor collided with the moon, catastrophically altering the earth’s climate. Miranda and her two brothers spend their days scavenging for food and household items, while their mother stays at home and desperately tries to hold on to the ordinary activities of their previous life. But they all know that nothing is truly normal in this surreal new world they live in.
The struggle to survive intensifies when Miranda’s father and stepmother arrive with a baby and three strangers in tow. One of the newcomers is Alex Morales, and as Miranda’s complicated feelings for him turn to love, his plans for his future thwart their relationship. Then a devastating tornado hits the town of Howell, and Miranda makes a decision that will change their lives forever.
