Synopsis: The year is 2032, sixteen years after a deadly virus—and the vaccine intended to protect against it—wiped out most of the earth’s population. The night before eighteen-year-old Eve’s graduation from her all-girls school she discovers what really happens to new graduates, and the horrifying fate that awaits her.
Fleeing the only home she’s ever known, Eve sets off on a long, treacherous journey, searching for a place she can survive. Along the way she encounters Caleb, a rough, rebellious boy living in the wild. Separated from men her whole life, Eve has been taught to fear them, but Caleb slowly wins her trust...and her heart. He promises to protect her, but when soldiers begin hunting them, Eve must choose between true love and her life.
My Review: This very much sounded like any other dystopian book out there, but it was actually a bit different. A breathe of fresh air. I felt like I was reading contemporary. It was very fast pace and I loved that about the book. The writing was very good and I really enjoyed reading the character development.
Like most stories now a days there was some romance. And it was lighthearted, but beautiful. Not too corny or cheesey. And it fit well with the story.
I think overrall, it was a nice, short read and I really enjoyed it. It wasn't as exciting as I was hoping it would be. It wasn't mind blowing but, I still liked it.
I'll definitely add the next in the series to my TBR list!
My Rating: 4/5- Very good :)
The School contains girls who are supposedly there for intellectual purposes...although the knowledge they are given, especially regarding the male gender, is often far from the truth. The School twists how the male gender is in everyday life, describing men as dangerous sex fiends who are evil and do nothing but harm the female populace. The reader will later learn that this false information is taught to the girls in the hopes that they will be led like sheep to the slaughter when it comes to birthing children...they will be cowed into submission.
