I was pretty disappointed to find that we were back to Miranda's (was that her name?) viewpoint with this book. I think I might have preferred a 3rd person POV. I found out from the blurb that the 1st 2 books characters were going to come together somehow in this book. The romance was disappointi...
Oh my. What mixed feelings I have on this book. First of all, can I please just say how much I hate Jon? At first I didn't realize who he was, but then soon after I got to the second chapter I discovered that he was really the Jonny that I had loved and shipped with Julie in the previous books. A...
It is a terrible book. Why I kept reading it is a mystery to me. She isn't a likeable character and the way she talks is in an adult voice. Maybe things are different in Texas and middle America, but out here on the coast kids aren't always ready to say 'yes please, no thank you, I'm so sorry', e...
4.5 stars. What animals everyone has become. I have a fondness for this series because the first book was so good. This one is... adequate.
Pfeffer writes about the break down of society, government and life as we know it due to a series of natural disasters. Unlike other apocalypse themed books where the breakdown happens immediately and citizens are on their own from the beginning, Life as We Knew It describes a gradual downturn o...

This was the kind of book I used to love to read when I was a kid. I was always attracted to the characters who figured out ways to make money. The first time I ever earned money doing work for people that weren't my parents was such a thrill. Saving it and being able to buy my own Christmas pres...

As she seeks her niche in life, Thea becomes involved in volunteer work at the local hospital.
Susan Beth Pfeffer is one of my favourite authors and I was thrilled when I found this book in our school library. The plot is very interested. Mafia book are one of my favourite books and when I read on the back of the book that the Mafia (Vals father) is in the book, I just wanted to go home an...
Susan Beth Pfeffer’s Life as We Knew It enthralled and devastated readers with its brutal but hopeful look at an apocalyptic event--an asteroid hitting the moon, setting off a tailspin of horrific climate changes. Now this harrowing companion novel examines the same events as they unfold in New Y...
No, even that is a lie. It isn't what real y happened. It's what I made happen. If I don't admit that here, now, then I'l be lying to myself just as I'l be lying to everyone else every day of my life. We spent al day working, trying to move the mountain of rubble that was blocking the cel ar door...
It was the only mirror Evvie and Sam had. Claire remembered saving up for a full-length mirror from the first allowance she’d been given. It had taken weeks, and then she’d had to beg Megs to go with her, drive it back, and put it up. Nicky hadn’t approved, either, but Claire had gotten what she ...
