A Matter of Days
€œGripping and poignant, A Matter of Days takes readers on a heart-stopping journey of love and survival.€œ €" New York Times bestselling author Carrie Jones
Â
Their new reality begins in just a matter of days.
Â
On Day 56 of the Blustar Pandemic, sixteen-year-old Nadia€s mother dies, leaving Nadia to fend for herself and her younger brother, Rabbit. Both have been immunized against the virus, but they can€t be protected from what comes next. Their father taught them to €œbe the cockroach€Â€"to adapt to and survive whatever comes their way. And that€s their mission.
Â
Facing a lawless world of destruction and deprivation, Nadia and Rabbit drive from Seattle to their grandfather€s compound in West Virginia. The illness, fatigue, and hunger they endure along the way will all be worth it once they reach the compound.
Â
Unless no one is waiting for them . . .
