This was so unique. For anyone who has been married or in a long term relationship this one is for you. Miscommunication or non-communication is big ones in relationships and I think some of that for sure happened here. I loved the writing and this was a fun ride with Jane and Dan and their relationship.

📖📖 Book Review 📖📖 Marriage is hard, and parenting is even harder. Even with the best partner, it is one tough journey and it just seems to get harder as the years go on….as I am learning from the trenches. Thank you so much to Colleen Oakley for sharing such an honest and hilarious book to shake up the perspective for all of us who feel overwhelmed and exhausted and have not yet even reached nineteen years of marriage (or twenty depending on which partner is counting…) Jane and Dan at the End of the World is a humorous breath of fresh air with a writing style that is breezy and beautiful. Oakley hooks the reader in with the first sentence and does not let up until the very end. With an absolutely perfect delivery of satirical comedic gold balanced with absolutely relatable rich human emotions, Jane and Dan at the End of the World is one glorious roller coaster of catharsis that is absolutely binge-worthy.

Review is on Goodreads and will be posted on instagram closer to publication date and on Amazon when published!

I'm not sure how I really felt about this. On one hand, it was very entertaining and unique. I could see it being turned into a movie. On the other hand. I didn't really feel much for dan and jane. I felt like all the fighting and the conflict could've been solved with just one single conversation. I wish I rooted more for them but they honestly kind of irritated me? All in all, I think the book was fun. I just wish I enjoyed the personal relationships more. I do look forward to what colleen comes out with next! thank you to Berkeley and Netgalley for this arc.

What do you do when the plot of your failed novel starts unfolding right before your eyes?!

Jane and Dan have been married for nineteen years, but Jane isn’t sure they’re going to make it to twenty. She is in a bad place, convinced that Dan is having an affair all while her writing career is not going well.

When they head to the ultra-fancy restaurant for their anniversary dinner, Jane’s all set to end things.

To her surprise, a group of climate activists storm the dining room, and Jane realizes something terrifying: they’re following a script straight out of her only published novel!

For Jane, it’s a surreal experience—and for us readers, it’s an absolute thrill!

Colleen Oakley has such a way with writing, every scene feels like it’s happening on the big screen in my head!
I couldn’t anticipate what was coming next, and that’s exactly what kept me glued to the pages.

This is such a creative and unique book, full of funny surprises, suspense, and genuine moments of connection.

If you love stories where ordinary people find themselves in extraordinary situations, this one’s for you!

Thank you NetGalley and Berkeley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!
