EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN
New York Times Bestselling Author Jessica Redmerski
Genre: YA/NA Crossover, Dystopian
Publication Date: August 28, 2017
Atticus, struggling to conform to the cruel nature of men in a post-apocalyptic society. Thais, fighting to stay out of the hands of men like him. Forced together, they fall in love. But can love survive in such dark times, or is it fated to die with them?
Thais Fenwick was eleven-years-old when civilization fell, devastated by a virus that killed off the majority of the world’s population. For seven years, Thais and her family lived in a community of survivors deep in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains. But when her town is attacked by raiders, she and her blind sister are taken away to the East-Central Territory where she is destined to live the cruel and unjust kind of life her late mother warned her about.
Atticus Hunt is a troubled soldier in Lexington City who has spent the past seven years trying to conform to the vicious nature of men in a post-apocalyptic society. He knows that in order to survive, he must abandon his morals and his conscience and become like those he is surrounded by. But when he meets Thais, morals and conscience win out over conformity, and he risks his rank and his life to help her. They escape the city and set out together on a long and perilous journey to find safety in Shreveport, Louisiana.
Struggling to survive in a world without electricity, food, shelter, and clean water, Atticus and Thais shed their fear of growing too close, and they fall hopelessly in love. But can love survive in such dark times, or is it fated to die with them?
This book will take you on a long, dangerous, exciting journey. These characters will stay with you and you will fall so in love with them! I want to read it again, and again, and again!
That was an epic read. Pure epic! … Jessica Redmerski… is an absolutely incredible writer. I fall in love with every book she writes, every character, everything.

DREAM CAST
My dream cast for EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN would probably be:
Thais Fenwick: Emily Browning or Emmy Rossum
Sosie Fenwick: Sophie Kennedy Clark or Jane Levy (but with white-blond hair)
Atticus Hunt: Alexander Ludwig or Nicholas Hoult
It’s been over a day since I finished this book and I am still in awe of it. Everything Under the Sun is over 600 pages of brilliance. I am in awe of Jessica’s talent.
I have been desperately waiting to read this book and was so honored when I was given an arc in exchange for a review. Jessica’s writing is so amazing; it’s impossible to not fall into her stories head first.
We all have become so used to the roughly 300 page books that authors put out anymore, so when I saw that this was over 600 pages – I was even more excited for this book. I am not going to lie and say that every page was just as exciting as the next, but the development of these characters and their lives, each page felt like a new insight into them and what they were going through – it was like watching a movie play-out before my eyes.
Everything Under the Sun is a post-apocalyptic love story of two young people who are forced to live in the new world when the Sickness practically wiped out mankind. Left behind are all sorts and kinds of people living in this new world – savages, cracks and people making up factions in large cities where they are ruled by ruthless leaders. The world is no longer civilized and the world has returned to it’s earlier form of living but with a much crueler fate.
While this book is about surviving in the new world, there is a budding romance between Thais and Atticus. It is a hate to love romance, but it is one you can slowly see happening as the story moves forward day by day, week by week. And this is the part of the story that I feel that Jessica did her best in not making it feel so insta-love and shows how these two fell for one another during the dark times. Some will feel that this part is too drawn out and that certain scenes can be eliminated. But if she did that, then those same people would also turn around and say that things happened too quickly between them and their love isn’t as believable. I felt the scenes, while not as exciting as others, are just as important to this plot and needed to show how this love develops.
I will state that this book is very dramatic and very suspenseful but it is need in order for this story to work out best. You need the descriptions, the character development, the deep plot in order to really find yourself immersed in this story. I truly don’t believe this story would work out completely if we did not see how these two lived day to day and how they came to be in the end.
And that ending – yea, after 600+ pages, I was not expecting that, at all.
Bravo, Jessica, BRAV-FUCKING-O!!!!
