Tess Eliot has just lost her job, ended her multi-year relationship with her boyfriend when he tells her that he has been cheating on her, and she's estranged from her brother over an inheritance that he got and she didn't, and she really needs to make some money. Through a weird series of events, she gets hired to write a book on etiquette for the end of the world, which is needed just in time for 12/21/12, when certain groups of people are expecting the end of the world as we know it as prophesied (they think) by the Mayan calendar (it's a whole thing). She sets out to learn as much as she can about the supposed apocalypse, and starts to get pulled into the conspiracy theories against her will. She doesn't forget to write her book, though, with as much humor and good advice as she can think up.

I thought this was a really fun book. There was more of a mystery than I was expecting, which was a bonus. My favorite parts of the book, though, were definitely the chapters in her end of the world etiquette book. They were filled with humor, most of it tongue in cheek, and I found myself looking forward to reading more of them as the book went on. The characters were enjoyable (other than the ones you weren't supposed to like), and I like how the book progressed from start to finish.

In summary, this was a fun, light, quick read, and I enjoyed it very much.

4/5 stars..

Have lost access to this book due to kindle that it was on and I can’t review. I apologise for not being able to do this.

I am sorry for the inconvenience but I wasn't able to download this book, it was archived before I had a chance to do so. Again, I am sorry for the inconvenience.

I ended up DNF-ing this book. I just couldn't connect with it. I'm not sure if it was the voice of the main character or what.

Was not able to read this book before it expired. I believe I would have liked it based on the synopsis.

Jeanne Martinet has a way with words. She'll make you laugh as she prepares you for the end of the world.
