β¦ Synopsis
A love story set in a bad dream about America, concerning permanent debt, secret police, making dinner, and unpaid invoicesβright up until the end of the world.
Β Β Β Β Itβs Brooklyn. Itβs winter. Itβs so cold outside you could execute billionaires in the street about it. Sam lives with Eleanor and they are in love. He has three or four outstanding invoices that would each cover rent for a month. At some point, the President is going to make some absolutely wild announcements that will only end in doom.
Β Β Β Β In a surreal, funny, and heart-breaking version of reality, Sasha Fletcherβs highly anticipated first novel occupies that rare register that manages to speak to an increasingly incomprehensible world.
Β Β Β Β Through scenes that poetically transform the mundane into the sublime and the absurd into the tragic*, Be Here to Love Me at the End of the World* is about the exquisite beauty of being in love in a world that is falling apart.

Overview: The world is ending in fourteen days. And Kieren Felix has sort of resigned himself to that. Sure, he's going to die a virgin, watching nature documentaries, but then, there are worse ways to go.
