The Last Bookstore on Earth

I was hooked from the first page. The Last Bookstore on Earth has the kind of protagonist that you could follow anywhere. I fell in love. Not just with Liz and Maeve and the bookstore setting, but with the beautifully nuanced sibling relationship of Liz and Thea. This book is life, death and the perfect amount of humour. So beautifully written – Jenny IrelandA thoroughly original, intimate and sometimes harrowing meditation on survival, forgiveness and learning how to love again at the almost end of the world – Nicola YoonThis stellar debut is filled with cynical and witty characters exploring the nature of and need for human connection. Contains just the right amount of action, a blossoming queer romance, and a well-executed slow doomsday reveal * Kirkus *A hauntingly beautiful story of love, loss and the raw fight for survival – Jarrod Shusterman, New York Times bestselling author of DryA vivid homage to books, music, and their power to unify and comfort * Publishers Weekly *
