You won't want to put it down, and you're on your toes the whole book. It's a great science fiction story with so much more. It has a lot of suspense, romance, and survival. This book was AMAZING! Life as we knew it is a very unique story about a girl named Miranda. Her family is in total distress. Her mom is divorced, raising two kids on her own. Her dad is re-married to another woman who is pregnant, and they live far from Miranda. Her little brother who is constantly annoying her, and her older brother who she looks up to in college. Miranda has some other problems though. News reporters are talking of a meteor that is going to hit the moon, and it'll be visable from Earth. Everyone is so excited about it. So, at school she is getting countless essays, and projects on this. When the day comes everyone watches the hit on the news or out on their lawn even. What they didn't expect was that the meteor moves the moon closer to Earth, and there is terror everywhere! Tsunamis destroying land, people are dying, islands disapearing, and people are wiping out grocery stores, making food almost impossible to find. Even fast food restaurants are closing because there isn't any food to serve.There are a lot of challenges to survive. There is very little electricity in the middle of an extremely hot summer. People are forced to use whatever they have to survive, and there is also the west nile virus going around too. Will Miranda and her family survive? Will her older brother make it home from college? These are all great questions that will be answered if you read this book. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone! I usually don't like to read science fiction stories, but I loved reading this book.
