As so often, they meet up in his room after school. He’s her best friend and the object of her infatuation. Outside, they can hear explosions, sirens, and screams… Have the simmering social tensions finally exploded? In the bedroom, lit only by flashing lights, there’s no more signal, internet, or electricity. Feelings of anxiety rise. As does desire.
Raw and detailed writing that combines the end of the world with the yearning of two bodies. A breathtaking novel.
