I also tweeted her to see if there would be a sequel...which I want really bad...
"The end of the world? That’s the stuff of Hollywood blockbusters and deep philosophical exercises in school. No need to sweat it. So when sixteen-year-old Tess’s doomsday-dad builds a bomb shelter in their suburban backyard, everyone thinks he’s gone crazy….
…Until fire rains down from the sky, sinking whole cities into colossal craters and setting much of the world ablaze.
Tess’s dad gives her a few short minutes to gather her emergency bag and her freaked-out kitten, then leads her outside and into the underground shelter. Terrified, the last thing she expects is for him to leave her there all alone, but he has no choice—he must find her missing brother. Before leaving, he makes Tess promise to keep the hatch door shut, not to open it for anyone but him, and to stay put until he returns.
But he forgot to tell her one thing: What is she supposed to do if he never comes back?" -Goodreads
Anyone? is a novel about a young girl who has to set out on her own after her world is torn apart. On her journey, she meets a few people and tries to keep her kitten, Callie, in line with a pink leash. It was an interesting read and I could not put it down. At the end all I wanted was a sequel to this wonderful novel.
On Goodreads, I rated this book a 4 out of 5 stars, but it is more like a 4.75 out of 5 stars. I liked the character development for some characters but loved it for others like Tess, the protagonist. Although I would have liked to know more about some characters like her dad or her brother. Or Cole...! I loved watching her grow as a person and seeing how she had changed by the end. While I loved her character, my favorite has to be Cole! He is a humorous male character that Tess meets and "befriends". Even if they argue and don't totally get a long in the beginning.
Also I liked the romance. I love how it was slow in its beginning and remained so throughout the novel and it was not like love at first sight, which I think is kinda over done. I also liked Angela's writing style and how her novel seemed to flow. I loved the wit and charm of her writing as well. Her dialogue was funny and serious at appropriate times. It also had a lot of wit, which I loved!
I would recommend this novel to anyone who wants a fast paced, exciting, and well-written novel. Also I recommend this to people who love world ending situations! This book is available on December 1st!
My Favorite Quote: "'I'm sure you would've managed. Sometimes we don't know how strong we are or what we're capable of doing until we're forced to find out.'"- Cole
