Summary

The End


"...utterly brilliant in its humanity."- Kirkus Reviews A Kirkus Best Young Adult Book of 2020 Kirkus Reviews Best YA Books of 2020 About Chasing Dreams Kirkus Reviews "...utterly brilliant in its humanity." Kirkus Reviews "Scandinavian noir meets YA in a jam-packed novel that's part whodunit, part romance, part end-of-the-world narrative."- Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW! "A stellar work of fiction that will cling to readers' minds and take hold of their hearts." School Library Journal "This intense novel will grip readers..." -- Laura Simeon International Stories for Teens, Kirkus Reviews When will the world end? With Foxworth, a massive comet, hurtling toward Earth, humanity now knows the exact date. Seventeen-year-old Simon wants to spend his last weeks with the people he cares about most, especially his goal-oriented swimmer ex-girlfriend, Tilda, who dumped him shortly after the news broke. Since Lucinda was diagnosed with cancer she's, retreated into herself preparing for the inevitable. Suddenly facing down a death that makes her the same as everyone else, she longs to connect again but doesn't quite know where to start. Reaching out to her former best friend Tilda seems like a good first step. Then Tilda is found dead and accusations start circling that Simon is the killer. As the days tick down, Simon and Lucinda only want to know the truth, but the more they uncover about the final days of the girl they both cared for deeply, the clearer the things that really matter become. Probing the question How would you spend your last days if you knew exactly when they'd run out? The End is a taut and riveting pre-apocalyptic thriller underpinned with sharp social commentary, that blends the urgency of Neal and Jarrod Shusterman's Dry with the dark tension of Courtney Summer's Sadie.
