What I'm reading
Apr. 6th, 2019 11:02 amThis week I bailed on Vivian Apple at the End of the World, by Katie Coyle.
Fundamentalist / MAGA cult predicts the Rapture, and whaddya know? Thousands of people, including Vivian's parents, disappear one night. Is this the Tribulation?
Maybe this book would have started subverting those tropes. Maybe it all turns around. Maybe it's aliens. Maybe Vivian figures out who she is and how she wants to live in the world, whatever the true state of that world might be.
But y'know what? I read to be happy.
And this is not happy. Bleah.
