First sentence(s):
"The loneliest moment in someone's life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly."

"Jack," he says and shuts his book—some obscure zombie novel.
-chapter 1
Choose to see the unseen...
Julie Stryker has spent her life in the scenic streets of Charleston, South Carolina, bicycling to the local college, working at a coffeehouse, watching her family fall apart and back together. She has plans, dreams—all of which seem out of reach. Then she meets a handsome stranger at work, and she believes her life is on the brink of a much needed change. But after a tragic accident, Julie is whisked away from the only home she’s ever known and confronted with a life-altering secret: The end of the world has already occurred and a portion of humankind has been kept oblivious.
Tossed into a hidden world of deception, Julie must confront the truth within herself and reveal the government’s layers before the end of the world becomes a permanent reality.
1st Layer: What you can see.
2nd Layer: What you know is real.
3rd Layer: What you can neither see nor know is real.
My two-bits:
Coming of age and some romance during the perils of a world that has transitioned into a dystopia setting.
The experience of being part of a military unit with missions into enemy territories provide pieces to what has become of this world.
I liked the epigraphs which were mostly from well-known dystopia related books.
