Tomorrow, when the war began

Seventeen-year-old Ellie Linton wants one final adventure with her friends before the school holidays are over. Packed in Ellie’s parents’ land rover they drive to the famously isolated rock pool Eden dubbed ‘Hell’ by the locals. Returning to their home town of Wirrawee, the seven teenagers realize that something is seriously wrong. Power to the houses has been cut, pets and livestock have been left dead or dying, and most alarmingly of all, everyone’s family has vanished. When the hostile armed forces discover that the teenagers are lying low in the vicinity, Ellie and her friends must band together to escape, outwit and strike back against the mysterious enemy that has seized control of their town and imprisoned their friends and loved ones…

Well, everyone seemed to love this book so my expectations were pretty high. I didn't like it, though! I had to force myself to read a few times and the fact that I were in a reading slump didn't make things better.

I thought it was hard to get to know the people and the settings and I felt nothing about it. I really like dystopian novels so I wanted to like this book as well, but no, sorry.
