Wow, it's such an emotional read and so well-written. I couldn't put it down once I started reading it. The story gave me the chills and also mad eme happy that it ended well. I really enjoyed reading it and once again I'm in awe of the characters and the their tale, so beautifully woven that it makes you feel their fears, annoyance and relief. I loved every single minute of it and would recommend it to all book lovers.
Zara is a teenager whose only concern is to graduate from high school and go to a good college. Until one day she wakes up and finds out that the world as she knows it is gone. It seems that humanity has degressed to middle ages, where women have no voice and no rights. She is grieving the loss of her family and fears for her survival. Amidst all the sadness she meet her 'Bunker Boy.' At least, he is kind to her. His name is Cliff and he is going to be her husband in this chaotic new world.
To Zara, something feels off about this world. She is not satisfied by the explanation she has received. She must find her own answers. As she begin to investigate things start to unravel and the truth is far more cruel than the fabrications she had been told. Will she be able to save herself and the others or are they all doomed in this existence?
It's a must read novel. The story and the characters are all amazing and the best thing is that it's a quick read. I love it when I can read a book in one sitting. ;)

Gripping story that had me shocked at the truth
This was a cool unique story. Zara is just focused on surviving high school when suddenly a blast happens and she wakes up and is told that the world she knew is gone. All the ones she loved and didn't love are now dead. She is a survivor. She is thrust into a new society with rules she doesn't believe in. She suddenly becomes the wife to Cliff whose father is the leader of the group. Also now she is a step mother to a little girl. As she learns more about this new society the more she rebels. Soon she is fighting for her life and the life of the new family she has grown to care about. This is a great suspense mystery. I had to admit this story had me fooled on the truth. I loved Zara and her need for the truth. Her step daughter was one of my favorite character. She was 3 and so smart. I even liked that Cliff's ex wife who had died left behind some clues for Zara to discover the truth. This was all around a great story. This narrator really brought it to life. I held on to every word and felt like I was in this with Zara. I felt her fear, her outrage, her bravery. I highly recommend!
