When a deadly virus outbreak changes everything, seventeen-year-old Jess finds herself far from home, fighting for survival alongside her fellow campmates in the remote mountains. Fortune Falls is more than just another apocalyptic story—it's a raw, emotional journey that will make you question what you'd do to save the people you care about.
Lou Vane's debut novel pulls you into a world where survival isn't just about staying alive—it's about building community, making impossible choices, and discovering your own strength. Jess's journey is relatable and authentic, making every twist and turn feel personal and immediate.
As Jess and her friends learn to survive in the wilderness, they're faced with more than just the elements and scarce resources. Love triangles form, loyalties are tested, and every decision could mean the difference between life and death. This isn't your typical survival story—these characters feel real, with flaws, fears, and dreams that resonate long after you've finished the last chapter.
If you've devoured series like Tomorrow, When the War Began, The Maze Runner, and The Hunger Games, Fortune Falls will feel like a natural fit. The wilderness survival elements are detailed and believable, while the character dynamics will keep you invested in their collective fate.
Readers are calling it "hands down one of the best books I've read in a while" and "so. freakin'. good." With its mix of action, emotion, and survival stakes, this is the young adult dystopian novel you've been waiting for.
