Life As We Knew It was an interesting depiction of what the future could be like after a natural disaster like the one in this book. It focused on the main character, Miranda, and her family and close friends.

I wasn’t a huge fan of Miranda, which I feel like was one of the reasons why I didn’t love the book. If you can’t love the main character, then it’s hard to continue on reading.

Other than that, I thought the rest of the book was just OK. It had potential to be turned into a dystopian post-apocalyptic world, but the author decided to keep it realistic sci-fi, which talked about the family’s everyday life in their house. One thing that I did like about the book was how it was written in journal entries. It helped us better understand how Miranda was feeling, and it was also something different than what you see in a lot of books.

Unfortunately, I was disappointed with how the story progressed and never really reached a climax.
