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?
- Anxiety Representation: Ellis isn't just anxious--she's a prepper with a plan for every possible apocalypse. But she has no plan for a new friend who claims the end is near.
- A Poignant Coming of Age Story: How do you plan for a future that might not exist? Ellis must navigate her family, her faith, and her fears as she wonders if her life is ending just as it's begun.
- Mormon Characters and Culture: Explores the intersection of faith, family, and fear in a contemporary Mormon community, asking big questions about what it means to truly believe.
- Friendship and Secrets: It starts in a therapist's waiting room. But as Ellis gets closer to Hannah, she realizes her new friend's doomsday premonition is wrapped in secrets she might not be ready to uncover.
