Her fight begins the day the world ends.
Scarlett Fisher is an average California teenager. She likes hanging out with her friends and talking on the phone. She does all right at school, and she’s made the best of her parents’ divorce. But in one way, she’s special: on her fifteenth birthday, a fast-moving plague wipes out everyone she’s ever known, yet somehow it passes her by.
Her family … by.
Her family dead, alone in a corpse-strewn metropolis, she has no choice but to survive. She needs food, shelter, a safe place to sleep. She discovers that an ordinary girl is capable of extraordinary things, and that she’s more resilient than she imagined. Even so, she wishes more than anything that she could just find another survivor.
Unfortunately for Scarlett, not everyone who survived the plague is looking for companionship. And she’s about to find out just how difficult survival really is.

Throughly enjoyed it
Quite good but lacking any depth
Very timely end of the world story about a teenager who survives a fungus pandemic that literally ends the world. Very few people in her part of the world are immune to the fungus, and she has to figure out how she will survive in a world that basically goes back to the Stone Age.
Good story, easy read
When choosing up sides, pick her first!
Nothing like reading about a pandemic outbreak during a pandemic. Thankfully, reality isn’t nearly as scary as The Girl at the End of the World. It’s a page-turner that still freaks me out.
A personal romance set in a poorly defined future. Not what I expected from the purchase page description.
It was pretty good, but I’m not going to read anymore in the series.
Liked
Not a great read. One gets the feeling that this was a chapter or two of a real book and was stretched into a “book.” Just not a lot happens. You keep waiting for the real story to begin.
It was an enjoyable story.
This book didn’t live up to its potential.
Was a good read but I expected more time with the girl on the road and adventure. I thought it was well written.
A bit wordy but an entertaining read.
Standard stuff.
Good about fictional plago but ending too abrupt
This was a great idea but the story slowly got there. If you get it for free, its worth the read.
Lite reading good for a week end.
Book would appeal to no one over 15.
Of the post apocalyptic genre, its interesting but not fascinating. Probably would not read a sequel.
