Finished This World We Live In by Susan Beth Pfeffer. This is a review copy; it won't come out until April 1.
This is a continuation of her other books, a story of what happened after the moon was knocked closer to earth by an asteroid. As you may remember--sun's been blotted out by a ton of volcanic ash (it's still there; you just can't see it), natural disasters have destroyed a lot of cities and it's basically a pretty wretched time for everyone.
This is the second in the series that's told by Miranda (and the third overall), and I hope there will be another book, because I want to know what's going to happen to everyone.
There's a nice surprise here, and a lot of reviews are discussing it, but I don't want to be the jerk who spoils it. (Because it was spoiled for me and yes, still a little bitter.)
These books are very compelling, partly because everyone likes an ode to the human spirit and partly because it's kind of nice to read about cold, miserable conditions when you are warm and dry and full.
Fantastic series; I hope this wasn't the last.
