Eve by Anna Carey 

The year is 2032, sixteen years after a deadly virus—and the vaccine intended to protect against it—wiped out most of the earth’s population. The night before eighteen-year-old Eve’s graduation from her all-girls school she discovers what really happens to new graduates, and the horrifying fate that awaits her.

Fleeing the only home she’s ever known, Eve sets off on a long, treacherous journey, searching for a place she can survive. Along the way she encounters Caleb, a rough, rebellious boy living in the wild. Separated from men her whole life, Eve has been taught to fear them, but Caleb slowly wins her trust...and her heart. He promises to protect her, but when soldiers begin hunting them, Eve must choose between true love and her life

 My Book  Review
Year 2036. A terrible plague has brutally decimated the population. Hundreds of children have become orphans, the world is in chaos. Five years old Eve is taken away from his dying mother and taken to a school to live with other orphaned girls her age. Throughout their life, they are taught that the world outside the school's walls is a dangerous place, populated by cruel and savage men, who are just waiting to seduce and deceive unsuspecting and innocent girls like them. So, Eve and her friends spend their lives learning to read, studying the arts and preparing for the day when, after graduation, they will leave the school and enjoy their new life in the City of Sand, a new, beautiful place that is being built by the King, where they will enjoy their life and be happy. But Eve, the night before her graduation, discovers where the girls actually end up after leaving school and, terrified, decides to run away. With the help of one of her teachers she plans her escape to Califia, a city across San Francisco bridge where girls like her can find salvation.
During her escape, Eve meets Arden, a girl from her school that ran away after finding out their horrible destiny. Eve and Arden have never been friends: Arden is described by Eve as selfish, spiteful and mean. Above all these, Arden has still a home and two parents, and this seems to be her biggest fault. Eve has never stopped to wonder how it was possible that a girl with a family was placed in a school of orphans, but hey, she had other things going on her mind, like playing with a baby Grizzly. And everything is fine, as long as Mama Grizzly makes an appearance. But, never fear, here comes the hero, riding his trusty steed and saving the day. Eve, at this point, instead of thanking the above mentioned hero, worries that he's thinking about having sex with her, and informs him that she doesn't like the idea very much. And yes, we are talking about the girl who had never seen a man in her life.
From here begin a series of random events that alternate between fortunate coincidences and predictable disasters, up to the -also predictable- final sacrifice.
All in all, I think the idea behind this book is mostly good, the author talented, but I couldn't help but find the story a little flat.
Eve's character often annoyed me: she was, often, selfish and moody. Sure, she hasn't have an easy life, but that doesn't justify her reckless behavior or endangering everyone around her. Caleb is potentially a great character, but we know so little about him that, in the end, I didn't care much about him.
Overall, Eve was a quick, enjoyable read, but it failed to convince me
