Usually I don't read this genre, but every once in a while I bump into one that really intrigues me and when this happens I know that I will enjoy it. 

When you see what happens to Emily, her family and the rest of the city it's terrifying and you never dwell on the fact it could happen in real life. On the other hand we never thought Covid could have a hold on us like that either. Let's hope it remains between the pages of this excellent book. :)

People make mistakes. Some are easy to rectify, but some have a disastrous effect on a lot of lives. The big question is will the world ever change back to how it was before? 

The book consists of two parts. In the first one, we learn about the impact of the disaster and the solutions they are drying to find in order to survive. In the second one, the focus is more on Emily's sister Sammi. On the one hand there is the community providing a safe place, on the other hand the outsiders, lurking in the darkness.  She is ready to start the rest of her life...

I was devastated and moved to tears more than once. I loved Sammi's fiercyness an courage. If I have to pick a favorite character, it's her without a doubt. 5 stars

Thank you
