Life as It Was (Vol. 1 The Last Survivors)

Life as It Was is the first book in what is considered one of the best dystopia series.

When Miranda starts writing a diary, her life is like that of any 16-year-old: family, friends, boys, and school. Her main concerns are the extra work her teachers have assigned—all because of a meteor heading toward the Moon. She doesn't understand the significance of the event; after all, scientists say the collision will be minor. What Miranda doesn't know is that the scientists are very wrong...

To everyone's surprise, the impact of the collision is far greater than expected, catastrophically altering the planet's climate. Earthquakes ravage continents, tsunamis devastate coastlines, and volcanoes erupt. Within 24 hours, millions of people are dead, and with the Moon out of orbit, many more deaths are expected. Miranda and her family must then fight for survival in a devastated world, where even water has become a luxury item. Through the teenager's diary, Life as It Was takes us through a moving story of persistence, teaching us that, even in frightening and unpredictable times, the most important resource of all—the one that should never be extinguished—is hope.
