I’m so glad I took a chance on this little story. 

A cute, cosy tale of the apocalypse. Kim wakes up on the Last Day instead of how to spend her few remaining hours. She heads for a nearby coffee shop … where things get weird. 

This author came across my feed recently. I checked it a few of her books before settling on this one. The blurb appealed to me but then the genre was listed as romance (which doesn’t interest me). It was short, though, so I decided to give it a whirl. 

It definitely needs a more thorough edit. But it’s a delightful find nonetheless.
