When you have it all, you've got a lot to lose.
Zane Torres, seventeen-year-old VidTube star, has a perfect life: a wildly popular video channel, a super hot video-star girlfriend, and a black belt in awesome. His fans don’t know he lives with an alcoholic step-dad, a narcissistic step-brother, and Type I diabetes. Zane doesn't want them to know. ‘Pitiful’ doesn’t gain followers.
Exocorp has been evacuating the polluted planet for decades and there are only a few years to go. But company executives and the top levels of the government leave the planet early, abandoning Zane and thousands of others to die, suffocating in the bad air. How will Zane find a place with clean air, food, and the insulin he needs to stay alive?

Review
I don't remember exactly how I got this book, I think I may have downloaded it from Story Origin. Either way, it's from my personal library, so I wasn't compelled by a written or oral contract to review it.
The plot follows a teenager, Zane, who is a VidTube star with a wonderful girlfriend. The problem is, she's not so wonderful as she leaves Zane behind on the last ship to leave Earth. Zane and his mentor decide to leave the city in search of a place to survive.
Unlike most post-apocalyptic books, there isn't much action. Most of Zane's adventures involve a lot of travel as he finds a place where he can survive. I liked Zane as a character, he's vulnerable and he's quick on his feet. The other cast of characters are compelling in their own way, but Zane is definitely the focus of this book.
Regardless of how I came across this book, I'm glad I did. I was rooting for Zane from the first page, and I'm anxious to see how his new, post-apocalyptic life is treating him.
