Here We Are at the End

Genres: Fiction, Young Adult

Author: Sara Barnard

Two families and a handful of strangers gather on a private Italian island for what should be the perfect destination wedding.

But before the celebrations begin, the news breaks that a doomsday comet will soon crash into Earth. With no way home, no phone signal and no hope, the guests are left to face the unthinkable: the end of everything. And just each other for company.

As the hours count down, love and fear collide as twelve people face themselves, each other and the fragile grace of being human when time itself runs out. With humanity stripped to its rawest form, they’re faced with the ultimate questions: what we cling to, what we let go of and who we truly are.

One asteroid and one small planet collide for a world-ending, yet life-affirming, event.
