YA
Isolated high-school junior Ellis deals with her severe anxiety by preparing for potential doomsday scenarios. She meets Hannah, who says that fate has brought them together for the end of the world. Ellis, a deeply religious Mormon, must find a way to believe that the world will continue--a type of faith more complex than believing in doomsday. A too-rare, well-rounded portrayal of a contemporary religious adolescent.
