🧡 This is a YA-type apocalypse, and sometimes it feels young. This is to the apocalypse genre what Harry Potter is to fantasy. It has dark moments and people do die, but there’s nothing graphic or scary. But mostly it’s an endearing tale of a family’s experience of a drastic natural event and its immense consequences. So basically, a family listen.

💚 There’s a real sense of the upturning of everyday life, which was strangely comforting at the time I read it in 2020. I mean, I’m not sure what would actually happen if the moon was knocked out of kilter, but this seemed very realistic, dramatic and ultimately, fascinating. There’s so much I hadn’t considered would be affected.

💜 My only major critique is that the writing is clunky at times. I’m putting it as a spoiler not because it will ruin any plot points, but as you might not notice it. But once you know, you KNOW. And then it’s irritating.
