Meet the book that finally wrestled me out of my January reading slump. An apocalypse story that takes place in a United States plagued by natural disasters and brainwashed by a capitalism-obsessed Christian nationalist church headed by a kooky “prophet,” it certainly didn‘t remind me of anything that could ever happen in real life. Hahaha…haha…ha… Ahem. Anyway, I loved Vivian who learned and grew and managed to come of age in a world gone mad.
