Okay soo, it was pretty good! I liked the writing style. This review is maybe going to contain some spoilers‼️. We have our protagonist Avery, a 19 year old girl who's in love with her best friend, Cass. She plans to kill herself on her birthday, the very same day the world finds out that a deathly Asteroid is heading towards earth. Her family plans to build a bunker in their basement to eventually survive - Her Mom, Dad, Avery, Cass, Dr. Talley (one of her professors) Aisha (her roommate), Peter (her brother), Georgia (Peter’s wife) and Teddy (Their little son). It all goes pretty well until they get robbed by Clayton (Avery’s Prom date) and his brother. Cass and Avery finally confess to each other. Avery’s family is very religious, and she has been told several things during her time growing up. I thought they would survive somehow, but it seems like they didn’t🥹. It was very touching and to be honest really relatable to me on another level. I’m bi, come from a religious family (at least one side of it) and I’m suicidal. I have many battles I fight with myself and there are so many things I haven’t told people in general about that. I dont want this to be only about me and to vent but it was VERY personally relatable about not seeing your worth, not seeing any future for yourself, thinking the world would be better off without you, constantly having suicidal thoughts and think that there is not point in living. So yeah.. four stars for me😊.
