Many thanks to NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing/Amazon Publishing for gifting me a digital ARC of this wonderful book by Suzy Krause – 4.5 stars rounded up!
In the same week, Marlen and Hilda’s family receives two big pieces of news. Marlen has been diagnosed with a terminal illness. And a cosmic blast is set to destroy the world within months. The upcoming Christmas will be their last.
This was a magical book that will have you quickly turning the pages to figure out exactly what is going on. Things seem familiar to these characters that shouldn’t be familiar, characters hold onto whatever hope they can, and everyone figures out just exactly what is important. The characters are wonderful and relatable, and I felt for all of them as they each coped with the impending apocalypse. It’s about family, friends, community, and some magical realism. I loved it!
