Aftershocks by Marisa Reichardt
4.0
This was a wonderful YA survival and aftermath story.
Ruby reacts poorly to some news about her mother and they get in an argument. Ruby decides to skip the next day of school and hang out at a local laundromat to see if she can convince someone to buy her some...adult beverages. Unfortunately for her, this is when a very strong earthquake happens, and she is buried, injured, in rubble. For the most part, the story takes place in short snippets of her trying to survive as aftershocks continue to rumble and in short flashbacks to her life with her friends and family.
Will she be rescued? Will her family and friends be safe? You should read it and find out.
