As "Life As We Knew It" is one of my favorite books, I could not wait to read this. It started out seeming like a more diverse, perhaps politically correct, big city version of the same events and had many similarities. But it is a different set of characters and different setting experiencing the same event, after all. It still reeled me in and I became completely absorbed. I love the way this author can paint her characters so human that the reader becomes so emotionally attached to them. It is a much darker book than the first was, more heart wrenching in some ways. I highly recommend it, but be prepared not to feel the same at the end of this as the author left us feeling at the end of the first.
