Brief synopsis (no spoilers)
Zoey and a handful of young women are the only recent females to be born within the last number of years. Something happened to the human race that caused a dearth of female babies. The world roped into chaos. This small group is the last hope of humanity to rebuild. They're kept in a facility called the ARC by an organization named the NOA. They're protected, but they are not free.

My personal opinion (the review)
As the story progresses, the language and adult situations taper off. The last half of the book was quite good, aside from the violence and death. But I cannot recommend the book, due to the first half. The intimate scene was not essential to the story line, or could have been referenced in less detail. The foul language could have been left out entirely, with no negative impact. The violence and death typically come with the dystopian, post apocalyptic genre, although I'd like to challenge that as well. Great story, but disappointing implementation.
Warnings
Language: several f words, many other swears
Violence: frequent, including several attempted rapes
"Adult" situations: several teenage romantic moments, one adult moment described in a fair amount of detail
Death: many, including main characters
