Days Like This - Thryft

Escaping dystopia: survival, secrets, adolescent courage.

"Days Like This" isn't just another dystopian narrative; it's a gripping tale of resilience in the face of authoritarian control. If you're into stories that combine the thrill of escape with the poignancy of growing up under a repressive regime, this book will likely resonate with you. The protagonist's journey is both a physical and emotional one, as Lily's search for freedom also uncovers truths about her world and herself. The novel's tension and mystery make it a compelling read for those who enjoy young adult fiction that doesn't shy away from darker themes.

Description

She has to escape. But who else is out there? And can anyone survive days like this? I want to go back to the days when life made sense. The days before our parents became strange; before the warming ate away at all the living things in the world; before The Committee and their Blacktroopers. Before the Wall. Lily is a prisoner in her own home. Forced to stay inside by The Committee and guarded by their increasingly distant parents, Lily and her brother Daniel are beginning to ask why. Then, when Daniel disappears just before his seventeenth birthday, Lily knows she is next. Days Like This was a finalist in the 2010 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Young Adult which resulted in publication by Penguin.
