This Is Where the World Ends by Amy Zhang

3.0

This is the tragic story of the mismatched couple who "shares" a soul, Micah and Janie. Janie and Micah. They are inspiring and dynamic and explosive and unstoppable. But their friendship is also a secret. It does not help that Janie has a boyfriend and Micah truly loves her, and is the only one who truly understands her. Janie is a vibrant young girl with big dreams and big ideas, and big plans that could either be pranks or wonderful surprises for the people she loves. And Micah is with her for every adventure. This is sort of reminiscent of Paper Towns by John Green. Except Janie wishes so much to be found and loved and appreciated, and this is where the world ends for her - Janie was both bullied and worshipped by her peers, and she struggles to find herself, with Micah quietly reaching out to her. Zhang's writing is beautifully poetic and poignant, albeit the slightly scattered plot. Still, this is a truly engaging and heartbreaking story.
