Cameron St. James is 22 and a Senior at New York University when a pandemic breaks out and she decides to head up to her family's cabin in Roxbury with her boyfriend, Zane. Cameron is an heiress to her family's fashion empire and she is ready for some peace and quiet without worrying about paparrazzi.
Elijah Ross is best friends with Cameron's brother Ryan and he knows the best thing that he can do is escape the city and head up to Roxbury to escape the madness of the city and hopefully have enough supplies to last through the worst of it.
When circumstances change Cameron realizes how much she needs Elijah's help to survive and they two begin to form a close friendship. When the unthinkable happens will the two be able to figure out a way to survive it all?
This was such a great book and extremely current given what is currently happening in the world right now.
I liked Cameron and I liked how prepared she thought she was when in reality she really didn't have a clue due in part to how she grew up. I was happy she was smart enough to head to the cabin although given what happened she truly was lucky that Elijah showed up which allowed her to remain up there for so much longer.
Elijah was great and I loved the history he had with Cami that wasn't easy because his mom had been the maid for her family. He became best friends with Cami's brother. Ryan, but Cami was always distant with Elijah and his sister. Elijah was really prepared to survive the pandemic but was only ready to feed himself and had no idea Cami was going to be there.
I liked how realistic one character having panic attacks and the other having asthma as these are things that many people are facing right now and it made it more realistic with how they were coping with things. I also really liked that Ryan was a doctor on the frontline and would tell them how bad it was and how desperate the doctors and nurses were.
When Cami and Elijah were honest with each other things began to heat up but the bet that was placed between them made me laugh and I was eager to see who was going to win and hot it was going to get while we waited!
I was surprised at what happened next but I really was in favor of it because things can happen at any time and I think this is one thing people don't seem to realize. I thought the authors did a great job with all of this and made it all believable. I loved when we learn what Ryan did and it made me so happy!
The part with what happened with needing groceries absolutely broke my heart and everything that followed. Again this is such a realistic look at the situation many hospitals, etc, are in. I was so proud of Cameron for how well she handled everything and how much she stepped out of her comfort zone.
The end was awesome and I was so happy when both Cami and Elijah truly confessed to how they felt. I was also so happy when you realize how much their family is happy as well.
I really can't wait for the next book and us getting more of Cami and Elijah while seeing what happens with Ryan and Kendall!
