The End - 9781646900060

As a meteor races toward Earth, two teens search for the truth behind the murder of a friend,
even as they face down their last days. Dry meets Sadie.

When will the world end? With Foxworth, a massive meteor, hurtling toward Earth, humanity
now knows the exact date.
Seventeen-year-old Simon wants to spend his last weeks with the people he cares about most,
especially his goal-oriented swimmer ex-girlfriend, Tilda, who dumped him shortly after the
news broke.
Since Lucinda was diagnosed with cancer she’s, retreated into herself preparing for the
inevitable. Suddenly facing down a death that makes her the same as everyone else, she longs to
connect again, but doesn’t quite know where to start. Reaching out to her former best friend
Tilda seems like a good first step.
Then Tilda is found dead and accusations start circling that Simon is the killer. As the days tick
down, Simon and Lucinda only want to know the truth, but the more they uncover about the final
days of the girl they both cared for deeply, the clearer the things that really matter become.
Probing the question How would you spend your last days if you knew exactly when they’d run
out?, The End is a taut and riveting pre-apocolyptic thriller underpinned with sharp social
commentary, that blends the urgency of Neal and Jarrod Shusterman’s Dry with the dark tension
of Courtney Summer’s Sadie.
