Summary from Usborne
It’s been 3 years, 1 month, 1 week and 6 days since Sherry has seen
daylight. When things went wrong up above, she was sealed off from the
world in a bunker with her family. But when they run out of food, Sherry
and her dad must venture outside. There they find devastation,
desolation…and the Weepers: savage mutant killers. When her dad is
snatched, Sherry joins forces with gorgeous but troubled Joshua – an
Avenger, determined to destroy the Weepers. But can Sherry keep her
family and Joshua safe, when his desire for vengeance threatens them
all?
Nayuleska's thoughts
Sherry captures my heart because keeping her family safe is all that
matters. Joshua shares similar ideals but keeps himself separate to
Sherry, holding back until something momentus happens. The snippets of
Sherry's precious life emphasizes the harshness of her current world. I
did accurately guess some of the plots, but that didn't steal away from this 10/10
dystopian where all is not lost.
Be sure to check out more about Sherry's adventures on Susanne's website.

Those savage mutant killers sound a lot like zombies to me...
