I provided my feedback on the audiobook title as that was my main source of the content. An amazing book.

Very interesting post apocalyptic book with a strong start that pulls you into the story. I liked the fact that the end of the world was something different from zombies, EMP or climate change for once and instead gave me something to think about in another way: time and our place in it.
The storyline and characters were solid, the way their beliefs evolved and how difficult choices were handled seemed spot on to me. If you don't expect an action-packed, fastmoving book but take the time to get to know the characters and maybe ruminate on your opinions or would be choices you'll get a gripping novel with an emotional impact that makes you think about the world around you you can't see.
I really enjoyed this one, I spend an evening at the kitchen table trying to explain it to someone who hadn't read it and afterwards we landed in a discussion about time and "what would you do's". If a book manages to do that it's a good reflection of the writing in my opinion.

The Never-Ending End Of The World, by Ann Christy
2.5/5⭐️⭐️⭐️

TRIGGER WARNINGS-
.
.
.

Murder, death, gun violence,

One day 12 year old Coco wakes up and starts her day as usual then just as she goes to get her younger brother up everything suddenly changes, or rather freezes. The world just suddenly stops and is set on instant replay- people just keep doing the exact same thing they were doing when time stood still over and over again. The story follows Coco's journey throughout the years as time continues to be at a stand still.
The beginning is captivating and draws you in, it's a different take on a post-apocalyptic world, but it quickly became quite long and drawn out. The story jumps parts in time to years ahead and it still seemed long and rambley with too much filler at times. It started to feel like a chore to finish.

I like to try ARCs of books I normally wouldn't pick up and that aren't my preferred genres because then I don't feel bad if I DNF them and money was not wasted but then I also feel bad because the rating will be skewed because idk if I'm judging based on the topic/genre or the writing/story...

Thank you to Jackson Dickert and NetGalley for giving me an E-ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Great story with an I am legend/last of us vibe. An interesting take on how humanity might survive an end of world like event that seems to have left some folks without resources or community. Fantastic dystopian take on the lines blurring that we think is right and wrong.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced audio book in exchange for an honest review.

4.5 stars

What a fantastic and interesting post-apocalyptic book. Coco Wells was 12 years old when most of the world got stuck in a time loop. She only saw one person alive in 15 years when she meets other survivors. The book is told through her life and Forrest over decades and going back through their journals. I loved that for the most part survivors were supportive of each other and trying to rebuild the world.

This was my first book by Ann Christy. Didn’t know she wrote books in the Hugh Howey’s Wool universe so will have to read those soon.


Excellent narration.

I really enjoyed this book. It was well written with believable characters. The flow was pretty good and I definitely found myself wrapped up in their world trying to imagine how I may have handled things differently.

Oh My world! What can I say about a book that spoiled the next book to me?! I absolutely loved each moment of this book, I have grown with Coco, I have suffered with her, I was absolutely destroyed by the ending, and I can not stop thinking about this book, how I loved the way it was written.

In this book, each chapter have a small interlude written in the first person by Coco or by Forrest, a bit how a personal diary would be and then the chapter tell us in the third person how things come and went, the first chapter don’t really tell us what is going on, it starts with a feeling of dread something is happening and it is now. The story is told in five parts, half half by Coco and Forrest they for me, where like the half parts of a coin, in the beginning they both start by thinking very different things, and is life that bring their ideals together…

This apocalypse is very different from all the other apocalyptical books that we can find out there, people are inside of loops, and the people we follow are outside of those loops, and if they interact with the people inside those loops the people inside the loop will fight against the people who bothered them and then they will die and disappear, and that is true for animals as with people… only in the end we learn what happened in Coco House in the beginning… and where my broken heart starts, I am lying, it started a way before... I will just throw that out there, in the last 15% of the book I was ugly crying, I knew it was almost at the end, and it brings so many feeling to the surface.. yeah just thinking about the story and how it ends I am crying again, but still I can only highly recommend it, I loved it so much, the way the story is written even with the mention of babies being made, its very clean in the language, so it is fine for all ages, at least in my opinion, Coco was 12 when the end started, and while she feels mature, she also feels innocent during the book, even when thinking of her son… just read on and you’ll understand what I mean.

Thank you NetGalley and Jackson Dickert for the free ARC and this is my honest opinion.

I loved the story and cried while reading the epilogue. This story has some of the most touching character interactions I've read in a long time. I genuinely fell in love with these characters and I can't wait to buy this book so I can add it to my bookshelf and read it again and again. It's been a while since I wished I had never read a book so I could have the experience of reading it again for the first time and that's what I felt when I read this.

The story follows Coco after something causes time to freeze and she is suddenly alone in the world at 12 years old. Loopers can become dangerous if their loops are broken and most of the characters have a heartbreaking story of how they learned anything was wrong with time in the first place. Coco adapts to the new world around her but after years is forced to leave her home as food becomes scarce and winters become harsher. She's lived a full life since the looping began and stakes are high when they figure out how to re-start time since nobody truly knows what will happen to those who were not looped.
