 Sci-fi Friday! THE NEVER-ENDING END OF THE WORLD by Ann Christy and narrated by Thérèse Plummer and Ari Fliakos was a stellar speculative sci-fi mystery!

⭐⭐⭐⭐💫

Coco is 12 years old when the world changes. Spending years learning how to survive on her own in a world with people who aren't really there, but are and stuck in an unseeing loop, Coco finally finds more people outside this looped existence. She must decide who she can trust and in the following 4 decades, Coco must make harrowing decisions not just for her new family, but for humanity.

I won't lie, there was likely so much in this story that I doubt I can remotely comprehend. I was captivated by the story and the narration helped me to lose myself in it. The details about the how simply didn't matter to me! I was so invested in Coco and her growth with her partner, and then her son. Wow.

I did really like the changes in the narration. Having a male and female to take the various POV's helped immensely in what became a complex novel.

Thank you to @NetGalley and @campfirepublishing for sharing the fantastic audiobook and letting me share my thoughts. I may need to listen again and see if I can learn a bit! This audio will be available on August 8th, and I highly recommend it, even if sci-fi may not be your go-to.
