The Never-Ending End of the World by Ann Christy
Something about it I don’t like, yet better than expected. 🤔🤩
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and while it is very solid as a whole, it has a problem named Forrest: The main character that serves no purpose.
An argument could be made that Forrest impregnated Coco, which resulted in the birth of Joey. But outside of this, he did next to nothing to impact the story, and given how the paternal situation played out, this fact is irrelevant 🚫 (for spoiler’s sake, I’m just going to leave it at that). Jorge could have just as easily been Joey’s biological father and it wouldn’t have changed a thing. In fact, that might’ve made things more interesting as it would’ve added an actual father-son dynamic 👨👦.
Now I will admit, with Coco being 17 years old at the beginning of the book, I was fully expecting this to be more of the YA dystopian cringe that has blanketed the once creative genre. But then… It wasn’t 😊.
It was harsh and isolating 😨, then thoughtful and caring ❤️, then emotional and devastating 😭. It’s a story that takes place over an entire lifetime. And while the ending got a little confusing, it did not diminish how absolutely devastating it was, which was compounded by the thought of the entire world waking up to an entirely new world 💭.
