But can Sherry keep her family and Joshua safe, when his desire for vengeance threatens them all?”
I can not express how much I love this book! How much I love dystopian books in general. I knew that once I started this book that I was a goner. There was no way I was going to put this book down.
So what did me fall in love with this book? The plot line. It is just filled with pure awesomeness that I was blinded by it. I loved that once I started this book, the reader is filled with what is happening with the world. Counting down time, the reader meets the family and see the struggles. I adored that the plot line is filled with page turning events that leave you reader faster. My heart raced as I gasped my way through the book.
The love interest is great in this book. I love reading characters when they are finding themselves in one another. So much lost, and so many people scared, to fall in love in such tragedy is beautiful! I loved that their love is not fake but strong.
One other thing that grabbed me is the title and how the book relates to it. I never thought that a title could be so molding to the book. I really loved that in spite of what is going on in the world, that people could sit back and well talk. Ms. Winnacker is an amazing writer. The way she capture the characters, the world, and the other lifes, left me in love!
The Other Life is a book you want on your shelf. It is life changing, eye opening, amazing book. One that you will want to read over and over again!
I give it 5 BITES!
Happy Reading!

This definitely isn’t the book for me since I don’t like dystopia much, but glad you liked it. I always like when the book’s plot completely envelops me. And a good love interest.
I have a copy of this for review, but I’m a little tired of dystopian right now. I’ve never been a major fan! Glad you enjoyed this one & good to hear there’s a good love interest!

I’m so looking forward to this one, but I have to say I’m not a big fan of the cover. It sounds really awesome though, I’m more excited now that I’ve read your review!!
