Really good read. Harrowing look at depression that can be triggering at times, but I greatly enjoyed the family and friend dynamics in this book.

Very sweet, I didn’t fully fall in love with the story but it’s a very good read for people who are searching for meaning in their life and Lgbt people who deal with religious trauma

4/5 stars.
☄️ Avery was planning on killing herself on her birthday-the day the world found out it was going to end. She picked herself up and forced herself on a journey so she could spend the last few days of Earth with her family and her estranged best friend and unrequited love, Cass.
☄️This was a tender but hard hitting look at what happens when you suddenly realise you don’t want to die.
☄️I liked how this book shoved you straight into the action. There was no waiting around for the story to begin, which I really appreciated.
☄️There were themes of mental illness, self acceptance in a Catholic community, the power of friendship and trying to be a good person when the world is ending.
☄️This was a good read but definitely not for over sensitive people (like me!). I was trying not to cry the whole time I was reading and now it’s over I feel a bit hollowed out.
☄️If you don’t like sad endings, this book is NOT for you.
☄️For fans of Adam Silvera and Patrick Ness.
