This World We Live In, by Susan Beth Pfeffer (Harcourt, 2010)

In the months since the Moon was dislodged from its orbit, civilization has continued to fall into chaos and ruin. Now, as the point-of-view characters from the first two books in the series meet and fall in love, we see that things can always get worse. What could have been an uplifting conclusion to a trilogy is instead a rather bleak, depressing installment in the ongoing saga, where no character is safe and hope is a near-vanished luxury. Though compelling and richly-detailed, this book’s a real mood-killer. Hopefully the sun will come out if the series continues.
