Publisher's summary

The end of the world is the weirdest time to come of age.

Welcome to the end of the world. One minute, people are going about their lives, and the next—not. In the wake of the inexplicable purge, only a handful of young misfits remains.

When it all went down, “Wizard of Odd” Dev Brinkman was seeking shelter from the taunts of his classmates. Goth girl Lucy Abernathy had lost her best friend and had no clue where to turn. And Twinkie-loving quarterback “Marcus” Haddad was learning why you never discuss politics and religion in polite company—or online.

As if life when you’re sixteen isn’t confusing enough, throw in the challenges of postapocalyptic subsistence, a case of survivor’s guilt turned up to seven billion, and the small task of rebuilding humankind…

No one said doomsday would be a breeze. But for Dev, Lucy, and Marcus, the greatest hope—and greatest threat—will come when they find each other.

Great story!

Great book. Leaves you hoping for a sequel. Author seems to push a little left wing agenda inside but it's easy enough to blow off.

Don't Understand The Negative Reviews

A very pragmatic and down to earth showing human of nature if something unrealistic and completely unexpected happened to wipe out the majority of humanity leaving only a few scattered souls behind. I loved the ending and the performance given by Lauren Ezzo was wonderful. I hope to come across more books narrated by her in the future. That behind said this kind of story isn't for everyone but I definitely recommend it to those who don't mind the apocalyptic/ post-apocalyptic genre.

Don’t be fooled by the happy cover

I bought this book because the cover looked like it was going to be s humorous story. I was fooled. So iff you are bummed out this is not the book for you.Be warned that if you don’t like it when everything hoes bad, this is not the book for you. However, the story was very intriguing and I really wanted to find out what happens to the characters.
The narrator was very good and did a great job differentiating the characters voices. Even including a great southern accent.

an enjoyable listen, even with many Loose Ends not

no real climax to speak of, but a well-rounded, enjoyable listen. curious to see if there will be a sequel.

A good writer, but..,

The writing is clever, turns of phrase witty, and character development extensive, but the story is boring and nonsensical. A long depressing slog to nowhere.

Great read

I really enjoyed this book. Perhaps it’s because of the condition we find ourselves in, but it was a somewhat light-hearted look at the end of the world. Dev is my favorite character, and I think anyone else invested in the story will find him endearing and persistent in everything he does.
