Review:
Last Girls by Demetra Brodsky is about three sisters referred to as the Juniper Sister Weirdos. These sisters are Blue, Birdie, and Honey and they don't live the same life that you or I do. They live with doomsday folk that prepare for the worst on a compound in the Washington wilderness. People on the outside have no idea. Instead of living a life where they hang out with friends, these girls learn to hunt and live without technology. They are prepared to survive.
I thought this book was very interesting. It definitely brought something new to the YA community. I don't think we talk too much or even hear a lot about people that prep for the end of the world. This is definitely a book that is hard to put down because you want to know what happens next. That is also how most thrillers go. This book definitely takes you on a roller coaster.

Pre-Order Campaign:
LAST GIRLS PRE-ORDER CAMPAIGN
Hey all! The Juniper sisters in LAST GIRLS don't go
anywhere without a backpack (what they call an EDC: Every Day Carry) and they
take great pride in their artwork. Honey paints, Birdie draws comics, and Blue
uses embroidery to fancy up her clothes (when she's not spending time with her
beloved falcon, Achilles). To honor the sisters' talents, I'll be sending one
lucky winner some artistic inspiration by offering up a fabulous pre-order
Grand Prize. But don't worry, everyone who
orders will receive a gift with purchase. And, as a bonus, I'm including a 2nd
