Now I know what to buy this weekend.<br /><br />Reading the review for this book somehow reminds me of another book I have read long ago, the title of which I have *desperately* been trying to remember, to no avail. Perhaps you can help me.<br /><br />Here goes:<br />The main protagonist is a girl. The story is told through her dairy. The setting is apocalyptic, I think. There are horrible things happening in the city where city lives. Violent crimes and the likes. The violence described is very graphic. There is a particular gang of young criminals (all girls, I think, not sure) whom everyone fears. In the end, the protagonist joins that gang. I clearly remember the last entry in her diary reads "Goodbye dear diary, I am joining The [name of the gang]."<br /><br />It was a great book that left a big impression on me. However, it was a French version that I borrowed from the library years ago. I am pretty sure the original language is English. I don't remember the title of the book nor its author. I thought about going back to the library and check out the entire mystery/thriller/ and horror sections. Problem is: I don't remember which library I borrowed it from :(<br /><br />Someone helps me, please!!!

It was incredible from the very first page. I'm a fan of YA literature, but you're right, this is for adults, too.
