Synopsis

RULE ONE: THOSE WHO PANIC DON'T SURVIVE. IT'S AS TRUE NOW AS IT WAS THE DAY OUR WORLD EXPLODED INTO CHAOS.

Jinx

Three months ago, all I wanted was to stay up late playing video games and pretending the world was fine. With my parents' role in a massive political conspiracy exposed, I ended up on the run, desperate to rescue my little brother, Charles, from the clutches of The Opposition.

I used to hate my father's obsession with disaster prepping. But as I fight my way across a war-torn country and into a secret military research facility with only my stepsister to count on, I realize that following Dr. Doomsday's Guide for Ultimate Survival might be our only hope of surviving to see Charles again.

MacKenna

Once, I had it all. The right backstory. The right qualifications. But my life as a student journalist was destroyed forever in the explosions that triggered the country's meltdown. Now I'm determined to help Jinx get our little brother, Charles, back. But we also have to find our own reasons to survive. Somehow, I've become the first reporter of the new civil war. In a world where your story is your ultimate weapon, I have to become the toughest freedom fighter of all.

✰ 3 stars ✰ “Whenever I think about Day One, this is the worst part. I’d remember it at first because I couldn’t remember anything else; and later I’d remember to try to dull it, as if in practicing the remembering, I could deprive it of its importance and stop thinking about it altogether.” It wa......more

Goodreads review by Aoife

I read an interview with Abigail Dean a few days ago where she talked about how Day One, the follow up to her debut novel and runaway success Girl A, was a difficult book to write. She mentions that her editor asked her to rewrite the book completely twice and how it filled her with dismay. I’m afra......more
