    About this audiobook

    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?

      I RECENTLY spotted one of our journalists vaping and was surprised. “I didn’t know you smoke,” I told her. “I don’t!” she replied. “It’s just vaping.” I thought about that exchange as I read our story about the dangers of vaping on page 40. The rise

      I did not expect to love this as much as I did! Ellis was such a relatable MC.
      My only problem was the unnecessary romance subplot, but ultimately the rest of the book made up for this one flaw.
      A must-read if you love YA contemporary novels.

      How much can we control and keep safe the ones we love? Really neat story, an unique blend of self discovery, teen angst, and potential humanitarian/doomsday crisis. Very realistic portrayal of anxiety and its impact on loved ones.
    • 3/5
      Great narration! ........overall a bit of a mindfuck though.....metaphors and delusions and anxiety all rolled into a story.
    • 4/5
      The overall story is ok . The issue is this book was used as a way to spread the lies or mormonism and lgbtq . Almost Nothing Mormons believe is in the Bible and all lgbtq believes go against the Bible and even go against Mormonism according to the story in this book . The Main Male Character Talmadge aka Tal Is Bisexual And Mad At The.Mormon Church For Their Views But Then Makes The.Statement To Ellis That Just Because Something Makes You Mad Does Not Mean It's Not True . Hey Talmadge How About Taking Your Own Advice . If You Don't Like The Believe System Of A Religion Then Find One That You Do . Ellis Is No Different And I'd Say She's Worse As She's Written As Someone Who Knows More About Mormonism And The Bible Than Talmadge Yet She.Herself Is Bisexual . The Buble Does Not Endorse This Activity At All Yet Ellis Says Something Like She Can't Believe God Could Or Would Punish Talmadge For Way He Is . Or Atleast Something To That Affect . This Simply Is Not The Case Ellis aka The Writter Of This Book . Why Be A Part Of A Religion That Does Not Agree With You And Vicsa Versa . Then After Hannah Admits She Has Lied To Ellis All Along Ellis Still Thinks That When It Starts Snowing In Her Town That Hannah Was Right About The Apocalypse . I Mean WOW . Then Theirs Ellis Parents With The Weak Father And Strong Mom Who Are Mormons But Trim Their Ways And Speech When They Speak ON Homosexuality . The Characters In This Book Are A Walking Hypocrisy . For Far Too Long We Normals Have Been Made To Feel Guilty For Not Accepting The Abnormals And This Book Is Just Another Way Of Perpetuating So Called Lifestyles That Do Not Produce Life And If They Had Their Way Wed All Go Extinct Because A Man And A Woman Produce Life Even The Lives Of All These Twisting Individuals With Their.Anti Life Producing Lifestyles .

      It was ok.. maybe it's because I am older but the start of the book is well thought out about half way through it turns into an awkward finding yourself story and then the end just feels like the write lost her story and just ended it. Over all it was a nice story but I would not read it again
    • 5/5
      I don't personally get much mileage out of the concept of "books I could have used when I was a teen." This one is, instead, a book that helped me have compassion for the teen I used to be and was a great comfort for the adult I became.
