This is another post-apocalyptic young adult novel. The protagonist (Amy) is seventeen at the time of the main action, of which there is plenty. We learn quickly that 3 years ago, the world was overtaken by aliens which killed most of the humans. Amy, because of her environmentally inclined father, has a safe place to live run on solar power. It's hard to be alone, though. And when she starts meeting people, things happen that change her situation dramatically and permanently.
The writing flows well overall. It is written partially as flashbacks and becomes slightly confusing because of this, but it also fits with the storyline to be told this way. The end is sort of a cliffhanger, and clearly leading into another book.
The story is somewhat predictable, but still enjoyable. I would definitely be interested in reading a sequel, or more novels by this author.
