Synopsis

The end of the world is the weirdest time to come of age.Welcome to the end of the world. One minute, people are going about their lives, and the next—not. In the wake of the inexplicable purge, only a handful of young misfits remains.When it all went down, “Wizard of Odd” Dev Brinkman was seeking shelter from the taunts of his classmates. Goth girl Lucy Abernathy had lost her best friend and had no clue where to turn. And Twinkie-loving quarterback “Marcus” Haddad was learning why you never discuss politics and religion in polite company—or online.As if life when you’re sixteen isn’t confusing enough, throw in the challenges of postapocalyptic subsistence, a case of survivor’s guilt turned up to seven billion, and the small task of rebuilding humankind…No one said doomsday would be a breeze. But for Dev, Lucy, and Marcus, the greatest hope—and greatest threat—will come when they find each other.

Goodreads review by Angela

Not your typical post-apocalyptic YA. I really enjoyed that the author dealt with issues that generally get overlooked in the mainstream "zombie-type" stories. What happens to all of the pets?

Goodreads review by Andrea

So....this book just wasn’t what I expected. From the blurb, I expected it to be a comedy of sorts. A dark comedy - sure, but a comedy. I expected it to be way more YA then it was. I wouldn’t classify this one as YA at all. Instead this was a dark, disturbing, detailed, and probably realistic book a......more
