Summary |
Raised among doomsday preppers, Becca Aldaine's life has centered on planning for the worst, but when her escape plan is jeopardized, she turns to the boy she is expected to marry and hopes for the best. |
|
"Always be ready for the worst day of your life. This is the mantra that Becca Aldaine has grown up with. Her family are doomsday preppers, part of a neighborhood that prioritizes survivalist training over trips to the mall or senior prom. They're even arranging Becca's marriage to Roy Kang, the only eligible boy in their community. Roy is a nice guy, but he's so enthusiastic about prepping that Becca doesn't have the heart to tell him that she's planning to leave as soon as she can earn a full ride to a college far, far away. Then a devastating accident rocks Becca's family and pushes the entire community, including Becca's usually cynical little sister, deeper into the doomsday ideology. With Becca's getaway plans thrown into jeopardy, the only person she can turn to is Roy, who reveals that he's not nearly as clueless as he's been pretending to be. When Roy proposes they run away together, she'll have to risk everything--including her heart--for a chance to hope for the best instead of planning for the worst."--Jacket. |
