When Skye and her twin brother Red moved to New York to live with their mother and step father. They become one of the more wealthy citizens of the city and they are to start at the most exclusive school in Manhattan.

During this time the world is going crazy because some scientist said the world is going to end on March 17th (St Patricks day). With a new school and dealing with the pressures of high school and high society, Skye and her friends are out to enjoy life & not worry about what may happen in the future.

When Skye is asked to join the popular kids for a secret run, little did she know that she would see the future and it’s not pretty.

I wasn’t sure about the synopsis of this book to begin with, but boy did it suck me in. I couldn’t put it down and finished it in one sitting.

The world building is fantastic skipping from modern day New York to post apocolytic New York was seamless. The main character was really likeable while being part of the upper elite she still had values and ambitions unlike most of the girls at school who just wanted to marry a rich guy, shop and gossip all day.

Skye had to deal with some big issues, the challenges of being a teenager got to much and she self harmed while she only did it once I felt it was dealt with sensitively. But later on in the book Skye has to do some pretty grim things to survive and I felt that the lack of remorse or feeling shown by her were unrealistic and I felt it could of been talked about a little more.

Overall I loved this book it totally took me by surprise. It is a really easy book to read. I really like the world the Author created.
