Alone, hungry, and utterly confused she treks through the ghost towns left decimated by the plague. As a female student in 2032, throughout her whole life Eve’s been taught and warned away from the wicked, manipulative and deadly ways of the male species.Īfter a startling realization the night before she’s set to deliver her valedictorian speech, Eve runs away from the academy only to run into a new set of problems. Until one becomes an actual 12th year graduate, true life after school remains a mystery. However these great things are only defined as “trades”.
Dubbed one of the brightest students since the 21st century plague demolished the majority of earth’s human population, Eve is expected to do great things once she graduates. In 2032, after a devastating bout of world-wide disease we meet Eve, a best friend, an orphan, a school valedictorian and a survivor. I’m happy to report that Eve is the former! Between the fast-paced and feverishly page-flipping induced storyline and the well-rounded and interesting cast of characters, I’ve got no bones to pick with Eve. Although some have broken away from the strict mold *cough cough* Divergent, many remain unoriginal and downright boring. Much like the Twilight craze, many authors have hoped to hop on the Dystopian wave, bringing along dozens of books featuring future corrupted governments and renegading rebels. The Dystopian genre has grown quite large these past few years due to, as I believe, the accomplishment and mass-buzz surrounding The Hunger Games.
Not that I condone cat swinging, but you get the picture. You can hardly swing a cat in a library these days without hitting some new YA Dystopian book. He promises to protect her, but when soldiers begin hunting them, Eve must choose between true love and her life. Separated from men her whole life, Eve has been taught to fear them, but Caleb slowly wins her trust…and her heart. Along the way she encounters Caleb, a rough, rebellious boy living in the wild. The night before eighteen-year-old Eve’s graduation from her all-girls school she discovers what really happens to new graduates, and the horrifying fate that awaits her. Fleeing the only home she’s ever known, Eve sets off on a long, treacherous journey, searching for a place she can survive. The year is 2032, sixteen years after a deadly virus-and the vaccine intended to protect against it-wiped out most of the earth’s population.
