Goodreads Synopsis:

In the wilderness of Nova Scotia, Charlotte and Anna confront the formidable challenges of survival such as finding food, building a shelter, and establishing a new life. Their bond is tested, however, when an unknown individual enters the scene, potentially driving a wedge between them. As tensions rise, a catastrophic event further complicates their situation, leading to a separation that leaves them struggling to reunite.
Book Two of The After Series explores themes of resilience, friendship, and the harsh realities of survival, highlighting both the strength of Charlotte and Anna’s connection and the obstacles that threaten to tear them apart.

Review:

This is the second book in The After series. Charlotte and Anna are on their own trying to survive. This story had a few heart wrenching moments. It reminded me of The Last of Us in the way that the girls were on the run, looking for ways to survive.

Survival is an intense and heart wrenching story.
