New York Times–bestselling author Rae Carson delivers a harrowing and pulse-pounding survival story set in the near-future Midwest—with a cosmic twist. When a teenage girl thinks she may be the only person left alive in her town—maybe in the whole world—she must rely on hope, trust, and her own resilience. A must-have for readers of Rick Yancey's The 5th Wave and Neal Shusterman's Dry.
Paige Miller is determined to take her basketball team to the state championship, maybe even beyond. But as March Madness heats up, Paige falls deathly ill. Days later, she wakes up attached to an IV and learns that the whole world has perished. Everyone she loves, and all of her dreams for the future—they're gone.
But Paige is a warrior, so she pushes through her fear and her grief. And as she gets through each day—scrounging for food, for shelter, for safety—Paige encounters a few more young survivors. Together, they might stand a chance. But as they struggle to endure their new reality, they learn that the apocalypse did not happen by accident. And that there are worse things than being alone.
New York Times–bestselling author Rae Carson tells a contemporary and all-too-realistic story about surviving against the odds. The award-winning author brings the vivid world-building, memorable characters, and extraordinary writing she is known for to this near-future thriller. With page-turning suspense, a light sci-fi twist, and an emotional focus on the resolute qualities of the human spirit, Any Sign of Life will electrify fans of Rory Power's Wilder Girls and Emily St. John Mandel's Station Eleven.
My Review:
I really enjoyed this book! I loved the world, I really enjoyed Paige and her strength, and this story of almost all of humanity getting wiped out! It was such a quick and easy read, and I just devoured it, it was so fantastic!
Things start off right off the bat-Paige wakes up, attached to IV's, and finds the rest of her family is dead. And as she explores, she finds only animal signs of life. Which is a pretty terrifying situation to wake up to. Oh, but the doggie companion, loved her so much!
Watching her slowly find a few more survivors, to learn more of what was going on, was amazing! To learn what had happened, and how to survive in these conditions, and learn why they survived, it was all so fantastic! I couldn't wait to find out more!
That ending was so wonderful! I loved how they used their strengths and what they had learned to change the world! I wouldn't mind a sequel, because they did deal a major blow, but it isn't over yet, and of course there's the rebuilding that has to be done!
Reading this book was really great, and I can't wait to read more from Rae Carson!
