When the world comes to an abrupt and catastrophic end, which it likely will, and does, in Life As We Knew It, things necessarily get pushed by the wayside. Jobs, school, and figure skating just aren't as important as ensuring the survival of yourself and your family in a post-apocalyptic world. Unfortunately, the everyday problems of teenage girls remain. Friends, boys, and body image still rule in the land of sweet sixteen, even after the moon has been pushed out of its orbit (the meteor was denser than anticipated), causing tidal waves, volcanic eruptions, and climate change. True, mosquitoes are now carrying the West Nile virus, but Dan is so cute (and he notices me now when he didn't before) that I'm going to risk going outside and go swimming.
Well I'm not risking finishing the book.
ABANDONED in Twilight land.
