This audiobook was engaging, and would be an excellent choice for young adult listening. The time event that happened was unique and caused many unexpected circumstances. The mix of moral dilemnas, family relations, and love stories added layers to the book. It still was a little simple and predictable for adult listeners, though.

WOW! Where to start, what an interesting and crazy read. It starts off really good, confusing and I was hooked. It was a mystery that I had to solve while I followed the characters through the book. Forest is a dream boat! Coco is inspirational and the whole journey was epic. It is a long book, I didn't expect to be crying at the gym while listening to the end but I did.

+ No spoilers, (the end). I hate meh endings, sorry! I liked the epilogues as they helped give an end to people we met through the book but I think there should have been a short, two minute "chapter" from a couple of years on to see how the world recovered and how we remember the ones that saved it, that would be my main gripe.

I easily recommend this book, EASILY! I don't listen to audiobooks much but this one has got me back into them.

I received a copy of this audio book via (ARC) NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review. This book was very different than any apocalyptic story I have read before. Which was party of what drew me to it and I was not disappointed. I enjoyed the characters and their development throughout the story. Most of them were all likeable on some level, even if you couldn't quit see eye to eye with them. As I was reading, I thought I picked up some political undertones which was confirmed by the author's "to the reader." If you follow my other reviews, you might expect me to be unhappy with this, but bravo I really liked the spin and presentation of the different views. the story was a pretty even pace throughout there were some tense moments of action but overall, pretty steady. The conclusion was an interesting take.

I would definitely read any Ann Christy

I am obsessed with this story! When you think that you’ve heard or read everything in the dystopia genre… this book appears with a fresh and new apocalypse story. I loved following the character through her journey and unlocking a new fear for me. Anyways, totally worth it!

This was an amazing read (or listen). The narration was outstanding and the way the story was structured was really interesting and definitely added an extra layer to the story. This is one of those stories that pulls you in from the beginning and you are desperate to find out the ending and it just doesn’t let you go until the very last word.

Generally a good read. Enjoyed the first two thirds more than the last. Pleasantly surprised at the character driven storyline. 4 stars

This one surprised me. Great premise and good execution. Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to listen to this audiobook

I am not one that tends to reach for dystopian type of book. However, I had recently finished watching The Last of Us and actually wanted more. The Never Ending End of the World , just so happened to pop up on my social media feed and I was intrigued!

I am so thankful for the audio ARC of this book, because it did not disappoint. The story is being told (and narrated) by alternating POV from Coco and Forest. I was immediately drawn into their world and just wanted to keep listening. While their new world was very complicated, I never lost interest. As the year progress, and they start to unravel the mystery to all of this madness, I will admit I got confused. This could be because I don’t generally read these types of books. BUT this did not take away from overall enjoyment of this book.

If you are like me and don’t gravitate towards this types of stories, I highly recommend giving it a try.

Thank you to Netgalley and Campfire Publishing for an ARC audio in exchange for my honest review.

This just might be the most original work of science fiction I've ever read, and I was hooked from the very beginning. It had a similar vibe to Station Eleven, but they're very different dystopian takes. If you liked Station Eleven, I think you'll love this book.

We follow protagonist Coco from age 12 on. Time has fractured, leaving most people (and animals, insects, and even inanimate objects) looping in place like broken records that keep playing the same section of track, over and over. A select few people are not caught up in these loops and can witness them from outside their restrictive patterns. The problem is, if a looper's path is interrupted, they are driven mad and become violent until they break apart and disappear. It almost had a sci fi-horror element there. Plus, if food is caught in a loop, even if you eat it, it will disappear when its section of looped time resets, and vanish painfully right out of your stomach. But if it's not looped, it won't stay fresh forever. Life is hard, especially when Coco is such a young child, all on her own in this confusing new world.

I thought it was brilliant to have a young girl as the main character in this story, so we can watch as she discovers how loops work, even if there's no way she or anyone can know what this all means. She is lonely and hungry and scared, and you feel her struggles as she fights to survive and eventually meets more like her, people living outside of the loops. I enjoyed reading about how people rebuilt a society apart from everyone and everything they knew and loved, carving out new lives with new governments and laws and viewpoints about life and the meaning behind what's happening.

The story has a slice-of-life feel to it, even as the plot moves along. Coco makes friends and even falls in love as she grows up, and, inevitably, sets out to save the world. The plot was so unique and original, there was no way to predict what would happen or how things would end up for the characters, or even what would happen the world. As time marches on, part fractured and part new, everything begins to decay and countless loopers have been killed, either accidentally or intentionally. New children are being born to those free of the loops, and they have unique abilities that make everyone wonder whether or not they are really even human. How can time be restored to its normal state, to save humanity and the earth itself? And if Coco and her friends can even accomplish that, what will happen to the loopers? To those that have now lived for decades outside of the loops? To those born in the new world? What should they protect, their lives and the lives of their friends, or time itself?

This book brought up so many interesting questions and really made me think about which side of the war for time I would join, and whether or not I could have made the same difficult choices Coco makes throughout the story. You find yourself weighing the same pros and cons, trying to decide whether you would prioritize yourself and your family versus the entire world, if it came down to that. It was provocative and heartwarming and terrifying, all at once. It's the kind of book that you keep thinking about, long after its conclusion.

I love to read YA dystopia. Especially now that I'm hooked on The Last of Us. Going on the journey with Coco and Forrest through their journals, we discover people trapped in and out of time loops. I saw the movie Loopers, and this has a similar concept. Coco is so young and has to rely on herself for everything. She is forced to grow up quickly and she sees first-hand how terrible people can be. Such a great story told via journals, I loved the 2 narrators - The're'se Plummer and Ali Fliakos who had very distinct voices who made the story come alive for me.

**Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this audiobook ARC. All opinions in this review are mine alone.**

An original take on the end of the world. I loved the premise. The introduction of Coco and how she lives alone among millions of loopers- was amazingly executed, complete with evocative descriptions of this crazy dystopia where people are outcasts, like window gazing, locked out of society. Absolutely fantastic!

I did, however, have an issue with the present tense, not at first, but it bothered me further in as we time hoped a few good years, which also pricked the pacing for me. There was also a lot of 'telling' because the showing was soooooo good, I just wanted more.

To encapsulate, the author is brilliant, and I would love to read more by her in the future.
20% In this was a five-star read.

Coco is having a bad day. Actually everyone is having a bad day, forced to do the same thing over and over again on a loop. These people, these loopers, are unaware of what they're doing. Coco, however, is stuck in this nightmare world all alone. She's not stuck on a loop, and she quickly finds that if she disturbs one of the loopers that they die. She traverses through this world afraid she might be the only one awake, that is until she meets others like her, and each of the people that she meets affects her life in different ways, so she decides to start chronicling everything in her journals.

The Never-Ending End of the World immediately grabbed me with its unique story. I've honestly never read anything like this, and I'm a big fan of post-apocalyptic stuff. I liked Coco, and I enjoyed the story. There were some things I didn't like, but I can't go into detail without spoiling stuff, and I think it's best for you to go into this story spoiler free.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this ALC. Therese Plummer and Ari Fliakos were great narrators.

This dystopian science fiction takes place over several decades following an event that divided the world into 2 groups. Some of the people and animals were left to repeat never ending loops, reflecting their most recent activity. The minority of the remaining people and animals were free from the looping activity, but they were isolated, endangered and afraid. If a looper is disturbed in any way they react aggressively, and then they die. This book is complicated and there are lots of rules about the interaction between the looped and unlooped worlds.

The story is told from the alternating points of view of Chloe and Forest, who represent separate factions of the unlooped, as they try to rebuild society while avoiding the loopers. Eventually, some decide that the status quo can no longer be maintained and action must be taken to get to the bottom of the event. That is where the book lost me. I have absolutely no idea what caused the event or how the action taken at the end of the book had any impact. Despite my total confusion, I thought that the book had a very original premise and relatable characters. The book held my interest and the 2 narrators of the audiobook did a good job.

I received a free copy of this audiobook from the publisher.

Thank you to NetGalley and Campfire Publishing for this audiobook!

I loved this take on the end-of-the-world, dystopian, apocalypse, type thing (Very Descriptive, I know)! I thought the ideas, they felt novel and new. The characters were very real. I can't imagine how this kind of thing would affect your psyche.

Highly recommend!

An interesting version of a post-apocalypse story. Something has happened to time, with a large portion of the population being stuck in "loops" while others can go on living their lives. Many who are living want to just move on and live the lives they are now stuck with, but others want to find out what happened and try to get the world back on track. I thought the "looper" aspects were well thought out - what could affect them, why to avoid them and how they could ultimately be interacted with. The overall plot was good, spanning decades as communities developed and worked to survive everyday life. There were some good twists as well.
Side note: I "read" this as an audiobook. It was well-read and I liked that there were female and male actors used (as appropriate) for the primary characters.

What I’m incredible read. Truly. From the very first few chapters I could tell this book will likely be a bestseller. Also this would make an amazing movie. Someone call Christopher Nolan! STAT.

This story was so unique it actually surprised me. Post apocalyptic worlds tend to be quite similarly set up. The manipulation of time in this story felt very well thought out and one of a kind. I enjoyed the detail the author put into building this world.

The combination of action, science fiction and family dynamics was so beautiful and intriguing, I cried. I did not expect this book to impact me as effectively as it did.

I enjoyed that this story was duel POV but not in the normal back and forth kind of way. It was interesting to get story telling as well as journal entries from both characters. The epilogues were much appreciated as well!

Will definitely recommend. Will definitely read again. Will definitely be watching this book for accolades in the future.

I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to NetGalley and especially to the author for writing such an incredible book.

Really great Sci- fi tale about an apocalypse that ensues when the majority of the world is thrown into a time loop. Coco is twelve when she wakes to find her most of her world caught in a loop, but she is years away from finding others who are also navigating this strange new world and trying to end the loop the majority of the world is stuck in.
Highly recommended.

This could be the best book I’ve read this year - in the top 10 no matter what. I LOVED this story, the concept, the ending, really everything. The way it was written was perfect. For the story. I really enjoyed the progression of the characters and the fact that we were introduced at such a young age and watch as she grows from a teenager to an adult and so o. I don’t want to say too much in order to refrain from spoiling anything. I will say the ending was PERFECT. I could not have asked for a better ending, it was just enough to still want more but be perfectly content. That being said, I would love to see more stories in this world. This is my first time reading a novel from Ann Christy, I think that is going to have to change.
If this book isn’t already on your radar it needs to be. Add it to your TBR ASAP, pre order now, you will NOT want to miss out on reading this book right away.
Thank you NetGalley for an ALC

This is one you do not want to miss. I have never seen anything quite like the mechanics of this post-apocalyptic novel.

Coco is a child living in New York City when suddenly one day the entire world- minus Coco- suddenly becomes stuck in “loops” of the events they were doing at the time of the freeze. Each person repeats the last 5 minutes, or 6 hours, or 5 seconds of what they were doing before the freeze before resetting and starting again. Over and over and over. If disturbed by sound or touch, the “Loopers” become briefly violent and attack the interruption before disappearing forever. Coco learns to survive in this new world and we follow her through many decades of her life as the story progresses.

This was SUCH an incredible story. I became very attached to the main characters and their stories. I was unfortunate enough to be driving while finishing up the last hour and probably looked like a crazy person with tears streaming down my face. Crazy interesting and intelligent sci-fi premise with a beautiful story about humanity.

The two narrators were top-notch and I definitely intend to buy this in print and ask my library to buy copies because others clearly need to read this!!

Thank you to Netgalley and Campfire Publishing for the gifted audiobook!

OMG. I don't even know where to start. This book was an awesome mix of sci-fi and dystopian. There were a couple different times I thought I knew how the story would end, only for it to completely go in a different direction. I had some difficulty with the sciency part of it and at times I thought I was learning about quantum physics. That did not at all detract from the story. I didn't want to stop listening and I looked forward to getting in the car to listen more!

The story follows Coco Wells, who was 12 years old when the world fell apart, and Forrest Alexander, who was 14. They have such different upbringings, viewpoints and thoughts about this new world. This world is made up of loops. People everywhere are stuck in loops, doing the same thing over and over, but not all loops are the same length or activities. It's as if whatever they were doing when the fell apart, they are stuck doing forever.

I really enjoyed how the whole story was told in the book and not drawn out. I have so many questions that I don't feel were answered, but I am not even sure if there are answers. I enjoyed the narration as well.

I received an ARC of this book and left my thoughts voluntarily.
