Let's Call It a Doomsday by Katie Henry
3.0
Hrmm.
There was a lot to like about this book. I liked Ellis as a flawed character with realistic growth. I liked her therapist and the treatment of therapy in general. I liked Tal and his friends, and I liked in the end that Ellis's "dad is perfect and mom is the villain" narrative got challenged in interesting ways.
Hannah just didn't hold water for me. The whispy effervescent-ness of her pain didn't land for me. Her centralness to the book made it frustrating to read.
Personally, I want to see Ellis actually navigate doomsday.
