This kind of story is usually "my thing". I love a good Apocalypse. I wanted this book to be more than it was. There were some good parts, most definitely. My main issue was the characters themselves. Maybe if I was a teen or twenty something they might have made perfect sense to me. But having gone beyond 40, the fact that all the characters we deliberately written to be young,hot, and really into sex bothered me. I even asked myself, was I like this once? Young , hot, and really into sex? I told myself YES. Yes I was and if I was a teen or twenty something this book would have made perfect sense. I would not have noticed the glaring plot holes, or that society completely fell apart in a 24 hour time period. And I could have focused more on Michael's morning "wood". Yes folks, I mentioned "good parts" above (no pun intended). I got a good chuckle. There were several of those moments. I feel like there was much not finished with this story and if it was about 200 more pages, it would have fleshed out into something more. ( )

When a worldwide black out suddenly strands countless people two men will stop at nothing to find the one they love. One man searches for his sister while the other searches for his girlfriend.

While maneuvering the deadly streets on their way to New York, they each face difficult obstacles in their path. Fallen airplanes, crashed cars, looters. But they also meet survivors along the way who will soon become invaluable friends.

Meanwhile in New York girls flock the street hoping and praying for the safety of One Directions Harry Styles.

I did not think I was going to like this book but it was a pleasant surprise. I (not being a 1D fan, don't shoot me) could have done without Harry Styles being mentioned altogether but even with it being a form of apocalyptic fan fiction I still really liked the story and the characters.

I'm looking forward to reading more from G.B Hope.

Until next time,
Ginger
