First Twenty
First Twenty | Jennifer Lavoie
6 posts | 1 read
Humanity was nearly wiped out when a series of global disasters struck, but pockets of survivors have managed to thrive and are starting to rebuild society. Peyton lives with others in what used to be a factory. When her adopted father is murdered by Scavengers, she is determined to bring justice to those who took him away from her. She didn't count on meeting Nixie. Nixie is one of the few people born with the ability to dowse for water with her body. In a world where safe water is hard to come by, she's a valuable tool to her people. When she's taken by Peyton, they'll do anything to get her back. As the tension between the groups reaches critical max, Peyton is forced to make a decision: give up the girl she's learned to love, or risk the lives of those she's responsible for.

VeganCleopatra Great list! And number 12-absolutely! 😡 Jealous of 16! Do you think 17 will negatively impact 16? Do you plan on actually staying away that long or just off and on in the rv? 6y

Mimi28 I just looked up ACHOO syndrome and it‘s very weird that each letter stands for something so technical, lol. That sounds like it can be very bothersome though. Take care of yourself!! ❤️❤️❤️ 6y

MicrobeMom @mimi28 I think they names it that on purpose and just found the most difficult scientific words to describe it. It just means the sun makes me sneeze. Sometime a good thing, sometimes not. 6y

The First Twenty is a wonderfully refreshing take on the usual YA post-apocalypse/dystopian themes. The world building and "how it got to this" stands apart from the crowd in how believable it is, which makes the reader question how we live today. I loved that many characters had important roles, in lieu of "one super special girl." Themes of forgiveness, love, and understanding the world from another's situation are woven throughout the story.

I swear this book is single-handedly redeeming both YA and post-apocalyptic plots for me. It is such a breath of fresh air.
