Tilt by Emma Pattee

Annie is nine months pregnant and shopping for a crib at IKEA when a massive earthquake hits Portland, Oregon. With no way to reach her husband, no phone or money, and a city left in chaos, there’s nothing to do but walk.
Making her way across the wreckage of Portland, Annie experiences human desperation and kindness: strangers offering help, a riot at a grocery store, and an unlikely friendship with a young mother. As she walks, Annie reflects on her struggling marriage, her disappointing career, and her anxiety about having a baby. If she can just make it home, she’s determined to change her life. (Goodreads)
Tilt is a super short dystopian story that will keep you on your toes the whole 229 pages. This book is not something I would normally pick up off the shelf, however once I picked it up, I COULD NOT put it down.Cassidy, Library staff
