At The End of Everything by Marieke Nijkamp

4.0

A group of diverse teens in a residential rehabilitation center are abandoned by the staff when a respiratory plague sweeps the globe. They aren't necessarily safe where they are, but aren't safe to leave either. Some of the most engaging aspects of the book were the elements of the past year and a half that were so recognizable: supply chain disruption, stay-at-home orders, masking, essential workers risking themselves, people that don't believe the virus exists, etc. I don't much YA, but I was really impressed with At the End of Everything. Content warning is included for readers to decide if the book is a fit for them.

Thank you to Sourcebooks FIRE and Netgalley for digital copy for review.
