Life as We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
I found this novel to be interesting and the concept was intriguing. I enjoyed the protagonist Miranda but felt the story was lacking coming from her journal perspective. There was so much I wanted to know outside of Miranda. I found so much of it to heartbreaking and inspiring.
I enjoyed the family dynamic and the towns dynamic as well. The rewinding time and going back to living simply was a beautiful thing to experience. I enjoyed the family together but would have loved more characters, the central family was getting boring.
Coming from Miranda’s journal I was left wanting and uninformed.
I do however like how the story ended and believe in hope. On that note I will not continue the series because I don’t see hope as a central theme, it just looks sad in a ‘where’s the lesson in all this’ kind of way.
I will not read this again but know that many out there have enjoyed the entire series so give it a shot and tell me what you thought and maybe, just maybe I’ll jump back in.
