"Ninety-seven percent of the population is dead. And the killer rain keeps falling. Ruby's not sure she can make it on her own much longer. So when a chance encounter leads her to a camp with the last boy she may ever kiss (it's not easy to date during an apocalypse), Ruby gratefully accepts the army's protection. But safety comes with a price: if Ruby wants to stay, she must keep her eyes--and her mouth--shut. Except Ruby stumbles across a secret she can't possibly keep. Horrified, she flips out and fights back--only to make the most shocking discovery of all..."--Dust jacket.
