Let's Call It a Doomsday by Katie Henry
5.0
I have absolutely loved both books by Katie Henry. I love her interest in religion and making it a part of both books, showing how much it impacts different people in different variations. I love the way she writes friendships— I feel it’s the most authentic to how I was with my friends in high school. Her writing style overall is descriptive, but not too descriptive that it’s overkill. These all describe both of her books.
This book in particular, I absolutely love the way she examines anxiety. It’s not your stereotypical “”quirky”” high school anxiety, but real, life-altering and debilitating anxiety. She wrote accurate inner thoughts and other people’s genuine reactions to telling them your inner thoughts. I’ve read a lot of books and spoken to a lot of people with anxiety or about anxiety, and this is the one that is the closest to my anxiety, which made me anxious to read and comforted at the same time.
