Beschreibung

An engrossing and thoughtful contemporary tale that tackles faith, friendship, family, anxiety, and the potential apocalypse from Katie Henry, the acclaimed author of Heretics Anonymous.
There are many ways the world could end. A fire. A catastrophic flood. A super eruption that spews lakes of lava. Ellis Kimball has made note of all possible scenarios, and she is prepared for each one.
What she doesn’t expect is meeting Hannah Marks in her therapist’s waiting room. Hannah calls their meeting fate. After all, Ellis is scared about the end of the world; Hannah knows when it’s going to happen.
Despite Ellis’s anxiety—about what others think of her, about what she’s doing wrong, about the safety of her loved ones—the two girls become friends. But time is ticking down, and as Ellis tries to help Hannah decipher the details of her doomsday premonition, their search for answers only raises more questions.
When does it happen? Who will believe them? And how do you prepare for the end of the world when it feels like your life is just getting started?

Absolutely gripping. Katie Henry brings her teen protagonists to life so vividly. I finished it in 24 hours. Representation includes lesbian, bi, generalised anxiety disorder, Mormon, and amongst the minor characters also Jewish and Samoan.

I loved so much about this! It was a great look on many,many things: faith, religion in general, being bi and being Mormon, mental health, family and so on and so on. Many of these things are way outside my own experience, especially the religious aspects. I appreciated those themes so much, they were incredibly well done and differentiated. In addition to that did I love all the social commentary provided about everything. There are many, many more things I loved, like Alice and her family with her having anxiety disorder since very early childhood. That entire dynamic was sometimes very hard to read but developed beautifully. My only nitpick is that I expected one relationship to develop differently, because of how this was pitched to me and how I interpreted the stuff that was happening, but that obviously isn't a big critique.
