Life As We Knew It

Rating: 4 Stars (Awesomeness in its purest state.)

Review: Life as We Knew It starts out with a young girl Miranda who in high school when an asteroid crashes into the moon. Volcanos start erupting and typhoons happen as normal as sun in Florida. I would give this book 4 stars because you’re always in suspense.
