In this dystopian novel, Blythe is kidnapped at age 16 by a doomsday prepper who keeps her in a missile silo to save her from the end of the world as we know it. For the first part of the book, she is in the silo, goes rather insane at times and deals with the reality of being captive. She has a child who is stillborn, and her captor brings her another child and she has a son, Adam who lives. The book is rather rambley and I skimmed a lot and then seventeen years later, she and Adam, who is fifteen years old, escape from the silo to go back to the world only, it is a very different place. The end of the world as we know it actually has happened, unbeknownst to Blythe, and she and Adam have to find a way to survive in this new and damaged world. Interesting premise, has some good points, but not fantastic. I received this book free to review from Netgalley.
