Publisher's Summary:
It has been two weeks, and now Ruby is totally alone. People werent prepared for the rain, got caught out in it, didnt realise that you couldnt drink water from the taps either.

Critic Reviews:
"Distinctly British dystopian survival thriller. Great page turner, and I particularly enjoyed the very normal heroine." (The Bookseller)
"Tense, scary, and high emotion, The Rain will have you on the edge of your seat and afraid to step outside." (dark-readers.com)
Members Reviews:
Gripping, Real, not your average dystopian
Where does The Rain rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?
One of the best. It wasn't so fantastical that you knew you were listening to a fictional book. It's in the form of girl's journal of events. It seemed all too real at times.
What did you like best about this story?
It seems so real, like it could happen. I was outside shoveling snow as I listened to the first hour, and found myself getting depressed and scared... In a good way!
What does Avita Jay bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?
The British Accent! for an American anyway.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
"Not your average dystopian"
Rain storms now scare me!
Where does The Rain rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?
I love this story. Ruby is a typical obnoxious teenager. She is not really a likeable character, but by the end of the book I had grown to love her. Unlike many apocalypse stories, the characters in this story act like you would expect real people to act.
What about Avita Jays performance did you like?
Avita has a really clear voice. She is very expressive.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Really hard to answer this without spoilers, but several parts of the book were moving, especially when some characters die.
A very butterfly good book. Very entertaining
What made the experience of listening to The Rain the most enjoyable?
There was never a dull moment, you just had to keep reading.
What does Avita Jay bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book?
A voice.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, it was a long book but didn't seem like it.
Any additional comments?
It's an apocalyptic book from the view of a 15 year old girl, with teenage problems.
It's fun, sad, exciting & makes you think too.
