I read this in just over a day, which proves to me that it is engaging, and I didn’t want to put it down (my reading has been a bit slower lately, taking me about a week per book usually). her character was just straight up annoying at some times, especially in the beginning before her character development. A group of people, each living their own, unconnected lives, are introduced. It is revealed that a comet is due to hit Earth in 34 days. Some of these people can be seen in a bunker together under the town of Slough, in the UK, as they watch the events unfolding up to the end of the world on TV. Lastly, Ariel is smart and witty and has a handle on the US military for sure but he's not constantly one step ahead or always the smartest guy in the room. This makes him more interesting and more realistic. Not going to compare him to Moriarty in this respect because I get the point of HIS character is how smart he is. And yet, this show is so masterfully done that we don't care and that we still hope something will change.

The entire city around her is empty, except for one other person: Leo Sterling. Leo might be hottest boy ever (and not just because he's the only one left), but he's also too charming, too selfish, and too devastating for his own good, let alone Hannah's. Miller tested his hand at astronomical paintings. When he heard the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum was opening a planetarium in the 1970s, he sent some of his artwork, effectively convincing the museum to hire him as the facility’s art director. He held this post at the Albert Einstein Planetarium for five years before embarking on a career as a freelance illustrator in 1977. I really enjoyed the twist at the end of the novel. However, the twist isn’t what makes this book so special. The slow buildup of the romance between the two teens is not only realistic but handled really delicately … Author Brianna Bourne lets the story unfold naturally … You & Me At the End of the World is an entertaining novel that shows just how young love and a brief encounter can transform a life.” A contemporary Young Adult novel about a cross-country family road trip that puts one girl and her childhood best friend on an unexpected road to romance! Each episode of YMA starts with a small opening set to Johnny Nash's song ‘Bright, sunshiney day' which as i've also said before is stark contrast to the dark imagery that depicts a world about to be destroyed.We experiment with soft touches, our skin whispering together in a thousand small ways. It’s a breathless dance. A brush of the tips of our noses. A nuzzle under her jaw. All the intoxicating tease leading up to a kiss.” Hannah’s inner monologue was sprinkled liberally with “I bet the girls Leo usually likes would/would not…” followed by some action inspired by “those girls” and, no. Please stop. ESPECIALLY when that kind of monologuing doesn’t seem to exist in the boy’s POV chapters. this book was dual pov, and that was actually done super well, i’m usually not a huge fan but it worked in the author’s favor. neither character was favorited. our female character, hannah, does ballet. she does ballet and is honestly so boring. throughout the story, she realizes some painfully obvious things about herself, and it’s a huge plot point, even though i saw it coming from miles away. leo, our male character, is a punk guitarist. the author tried way too hard to make him completely shut out the world, he was constantly like “i cant have feelings”, and honestly was sort of annoying. 90% of his internal monologue is also him literally being sexually attracted to hannah, and though horny teenagers in ya are realistic, it still felt shallow.

It's no exaggeration to say that this book cured my 2021 reading slump, a feat even Ace Of Spades couldn't manage. I fell in love with everything about Leo and Hannah, passing cups of tea with them, jamming out on the Galaxe with them, and surviving the storms with them. I just loved this book.also, (and i will admit i was a little upset to figure this out) i related to her a lot. why was i mad at this you might ask? because i thought she was annoying at first 😑 but i ended up admitting we would be good friends in real life

The president seeks the advice of General Arnold Gaines and Scotty McNeil, Rhonda's brother, who specialise in end of the world disasters for the US government. Scotty declares the only way to stop the comet would be if the world pulls their resources together to do so, causing the US to work with its allies and enemies. I suppose this is another reason it reminds me of Wrong Man's and Good Omens: these shows weren't written by a roomful of people with different, random and sometimes meaningless connections to the characters, they were made by one or two writers who knew where this character was coming from and what they were thinking.

These are just some of the eclectic and seemingly unconnected characters whose lives will start to intersect in the most unexpected ways as news breaks that a comet is on an unavoidable collision course towards earth and will hit in just 34 days. Note: This is a young adult novel and there are mentions of marijuana use and Hannah shows signs of OCD with her dancing. The bold comedy drama reaches its earth-shattering conclusion; with the comet about to strike, the race to the bunker heats up.
