It's (Not) the End of the World

By Jennifer Dugan

Book Overview

From the author of the TikTok sensation Some Girls Do comes a sapphic YA romance set at the (grossly miscalculated) end of the world.

The world is ending. No, seriously. THE WORLD IS ENDING An asteroid is hurtling toward Earth, and according to experts, humanity will be wiped out in less than a day. Civilization has slipped into chaos, and the masses are carrying out their innermost desires with reckless abandon.

But Katie Lane is choosing romance. With only fifteen hours left on Earth, she decides to profess her love to Lark Valentine, the beautiful soccer captain she's had a crush on since ninth grade. To Katie's surprise, Lark is cool about it and even kisses her back. It's not a bad way to go. And in fact . . . Katie doesn't go anywhere. Nobody goes anywhere.

Because the world doesn't end. The predictions were wrong, and the asteroid never hits. Now, everyone must face the consequences of their reckless choices on their "last day on Earth."

Katie thought she was ready for the end. But what follows--going viral for her kiss with Lark and discovering that they might not be meant to be after all . . . That she's definitely not ready for.
