I just got this one last week, I can’t wait to read it! I’m puzzled a little by the need for them to be cousins too, but I don’t think that will keep me from enjoying the story!

Kailana, exactly! I enjoyed it as well, but a little strange…

Terri, the whole run-on thing used to bother me soooooo much. It still does a little, but not as much as it would have in an adult novel.

Thanks for linking!

Bart, right — it wasn’t graphic so I was thankful for that. Still, I do wish it had been a friend instead. Glad you enjoyed it, too!

Elizabeth, I’m really glad I read it, but it has a much darker tone than the also good Life As We Know It. I really liked that one, too.

This was a strange book. I mostly enjoyed it, but at the same time it was a bit weird!

I felt the same way about the cousin thing too. Just didn't get why she felt she had to make it the cousin. The run on sentences were something I got used to -- kept reminding myself that it was a teenager's voice. I linked to your review on mine.

I really enjoyed this one when I read it a few months back, the ‘cousin’ thing didn’t bother me as much as I though it might, going in – I thought it might be there just for the shock factor, but thankfully it wasn’t – it did provide some internal doubt for Daisy at least, but yeah it could have been achieved in other ways.

Hi! Good to see you today.

This is the second (mostly) good review I’ve read today of this book. It’s a sign.
I know it’s supposed to be futuristic, but it also sounds like ww2, with the kids in the English countryside during the war.
I’ll look for this book.
