Book Overview
Part genre-bending postapocalyptic literature, part horror, and powerfully written, H. Lee Justine's new novel offers a trenchant and heartbreaking exploration of what love and humanity mean when life teeters at the edge of annihilation.
Elliot's marriage is failing. As a neurodivergent woman diagnosed with endometriosis, she is consistently battling to survive in a society that caters to men. At thirty-one she's reached her breaking point. She's tired of her life and exhausted by the constant animosity she feels for her partner, Oliver, after his unimaginable betrayal. But Oliver, forever the loving partner, isn't ready to give up after all they've been through. On the verge of signing divorce papers, he begs her to try a new experimental therapy that promises to solve marital troubles in just one day.
The therapy session begins with an easy question: Where did Elliot and Oliver meet?
As Oliver begins the story of their lives, Elliot, now twenty-one, wakes up disoriented on a forest floor in Washington state. She's found by a kind stranger named Oliver. They both share unexplained memory loss with no clue how they got there, but it's clear something is horribly wrong. To survive in this new world, Elliot and Oliver must come together while the elements threaten to pull them apart.
Perfect for fans of Station Eleven, The Cabin at the End of the World, and The Power, Nothing Even Happened thrusts Elliot and Oliver into an emotional confrontation where they are forced to ask, is love enough?
