Last Day by Domenica Ruta
4.0
3.75/5
I really appreciate a book with a completely unique concept and I really felt that this one was. The entire book centers on a cast of characters on "Last Day" a (mostly) worldwide event on which the end of the world is supposed to happen, though its celebrated every year and hasn't happened yet.
However this book is dark. The characters are depressing (I think only two of them were ever described as being happy), very dark and sad things happen, and it ends with the actual end of the world. That said I really enjoyed the quirkiness (at the risk of sounding too lighthearted) of it. The author truly has a brilliant imagination.
