A post-apocalyptic rom-com perfect for fans of Adam Silvera.
Human life is dormant, waiting out the apocalypse in suspended animation. Empty cities wait for their inhabitants to return, tended by robots. But not all robots are simply machines. Humanoid Echo's heart is faulty, which means he's pretty much a normal teenage boy ... and he's lonely after a century of vintage TV reruns and canned beans. Then, a space-pod crashes from the sky with a girl on board. Pandora. But why has she woken up and no one else?
Can they find answers in their ended world - and new beginnings in each other?
A highly original and uplifting YA love story/science fiction mash-up with a slow-burn romance
Set in an abandoned but fully maintained New York City where the characters live out all our empty mall dreams
A thrilling adventure with plenty of unexpected twists and turns - and a dash of darkness YA readers will love Echo's vintage 90s-00s culture obsession!
