When do you do something if now is too soon but there is no later?
What would you do if you knew the world is ending in a few months?
This book depicts it so real, so very humanly and humorously, this doomed to be a sad world ending scenario became something not depressing but uplifting instead.
I loved the actual study of that life flashes before the eyes just before dying is sprinkled throughout the book as it was explained in the end in Marlen’s book. The beginning after the end, and the story changes slightly, in the tiniest way to make it better. This whole idea and implementation was so good! And smooth.
There are different stories from different perspectives/characters and each has a different focal point, I think it is one of the best ways of telling about aging. It was chaotic, even hard to wrap my head around sometimes, I had to sit with my reading to get my thoughts on book together a while, and yet it was so thought-provoking and realistically capturing so many emotions about love, family and purpose.
The writing and detailed story telling with a little possible twist in the end were all brilliant.
Thank you Netgalley and Lake Union Publishing for the e-ARC!

I wish I could explain why I loved this book so much, but I wouldn't know where to start. It made me think, it made me mourn, it made me hope...it shook up my perspective on life, at exactly the right time.

My surprise book of the week is “I think we’ve been here before” by Suzy Krause. A heartwarming tale about the end of the world and how we all adapt. And what becomes important in life. The story starts out with a cancer diagnosis and then we shortly find that the world will be ending December 27.
The ice cream store closes, then Walmart says the warehouses aren’t operating so you won’t get your packages. There are some deniers who are dedicated to keeping capitalism going. But in the end; we surround ourselves with the people we love and we take care of each other.
The story grabbed me from the start— actually before the start. It grabbed me from the blurb and the book is somehow written not in a depressing way, but an inspiring and heartwarming way. The characters aren’t completely fleshed out; but it’s ok. Because it’s just enough to get the reader thinking of what is more important.
I got this kindle book free as my November pick, but only 50 pages in I ordered it for my shelf as a trophy.
Happy thanksgiving to all my blog readers, I am grateful for you all.
