The Last Bookstore on Earth
A timely story of queer love and survival set against the backdrop of a climate change apocalypse, this book is Station Eleven and The Last of Us meets All That's Left in the World.
The instant New York Times bestseller. A heartbreaking and high-stakes story of queer love and survival set against the backdrop of a climate change apocalypse, this book is Station Eleven and The Last of Us meets All That's Left in the World by Erik J. Brown.
The world is about to end. Again.
It's been a year since a devastating storm ripped Liz's world apart. Haunted by the memories of those she couldn't save, Liz is holed up in the only place she felt safe before her world fell away—the bookstore where she used to work. Now she spends her days trading books for supplies and collecting stories from the remaining survivors who pass by.
Until she learns that another earth-shattering storm is coming... and everything changes.
Enter Maeve, a spiky out-of-towner who breaks into the bookstore looking for shelter one night. When Maeve's secrets and Liz's inner demons come back to haunt them both, they find themselves fighting for their lives and asking themselves one big question.
As the end of the world approaches, is there time for one final love story?
