A review by megatsunami
At the Edge of the Universe by Shaun David Hutchinson

4.0

I really appreciate the author's way of blending science fiction elements into a mostly realistic story as a way to illuminate emotional realities. (In this case: the protagonist's boyfriend suddenly disappears and all traces of his existence are gone from the world and from everyone's memories; also, the universe is shrinking rapidly.) I could not see where the book was going to end up until it actually happened, at which point it felt like the only possible ending.

I loved the portrayal of the progression of therapists (who were mostly awful... depressing, but as a therapist who works with teens, I talk to a lot of teens who have had these kinds of experiences in therapy).

The protagonist was kind of a jerk in the first few chapters. But he improved quite a bit.
