Cinnamon Toast and the End of the World | Janet E. Cameron

2 posts | 3 read | 3 to read

Stephen Shulevitz remembers the end of the world. Two o'clock in the morning on a Saturday night, in Riverside, Nova Scotia when he realises he has fallen in love - with exactly the wrong person. There are no volcanic eruptions. No floods or fires. Just Stephen, watching TV with his best friend, realising that life, as he knows it, will never be the same. The smart move would be to run away - from Riverside, his overbearing hippie mother, his distant pot-smoking father - and especially his feelings. But then Stephen begins to wonder: what would happen if he had the courage to face the end of the world head on?

Cinnamon Toast and the End of the World | Janet E. Cameron

Not quite cinnamon toast, but a cinnamon scone I ate while reading! I really liked how this book vividly brought (80s) rural Nova Scotia to life. Emotionally it was also very vivid, but quite tense & exhausting. Not surprisingly given the setting, Stephen's coming out narrative involves encountering a lot of homophobia. There are funny & sweet moments but overall it's a fairly heavy although beautifully told story (w/ a happy ending). #QueerBooks

CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian @kelseynicburke I hope it resonates for you! My ex is from the South shore and the book really reminded me of the time I spent with her there. 7y
