This World We live In continues, where the previous book, Life As We Knew It ended. It is a year ago now that a asteroid hit the moon and that because of that, life on earth changed dramatically. The book is the story of Miranda's Evan's family struggling to survive in a world without tap water, no electricity, no sunlight, almost no people left on earth and most of all a uncertainty of food supplies. Suddenly her divorced dad returns to the house with his wife Lisa and their newborn baby, and three strangers which they met in an evacuation camp. One of them is Alex and he and Miranda are falling in love, although they both fight against it because of the horrible circumstances. The weather changes more and more, and tornado's hit the town and devastate everything, and Miranda has to decide to stay at home or to go search with Alex for a more safe town.The book is mostly set up around the surviving of the family, which is seen their conditions very logical. But it takes much to keep the reader interested and not to fall in repeat. But Susan Beth Pfeffer describes the story very realistic and has such a huge imagination to what happens when the world is dying, you just want to know how it ends for everyone. I hope it never comes this far in real life..
