A review by alangmaack
The End of the World by Amy Matayo

5.0

Amy Matayo takes you on journey with Shaye and Cameron through their experience with the foster care system, some of the darkest parts of that system, and what it looks like to live life after the fact. From the introduction that leaves you hanging and guessing where the story is headed as you read the rest of the story, all the way to the epilogue, Matayo draws you into their lives and leaves you wanting to know more of the story. Shaye and Cameron form a bond of friendship that is so strong that no matter what happens in their lives, they are always drawn to one another and always seek the best for the other person, sometimes to the detriment of their own happiness.

This story is not for the faint of heart. Matayo writes about real things that happen in the foster care system, and doesn't shy away from the hardest things. But through it all, this story shows how strongly love can bring healing and hope and happiness for the future.
