Apocalypse NOPE!! by Deidre Huesmann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was a wonderful read – witty, unexpected, light-hearted, and engrossing. The four horsepeople of the Apocalypse are hilarious and uniquely drawn. I found myself pausing in my reading every so often to update my family on something funny that War said, or how Famine was personified in a teenage girl. Ivy-Jean herself is an odd duck, but awkward and loving and smart. I wanted to scoop her up in a hug and assure her that she is exactly as weird and wonderful as she is supposed to be. I read this straight through in one sitting and was a bit sad when it was over. Great premise, awesome characters, and the plot was timed perfectly. A great fun read!

~Editor’s Pick~

With Jeff Young’s fantastic grades, he should be a great tutor. But he’s terrible with human interaction. “You’re an asshole,” is not a unique phrase to him. Jeff’s all right with that. His past proves most people are assholes.

Even with his reputation, he takes it too far when he uses a textbook to save the track star, Braeden, from a goose attack. Braeden is everything Jeff is not. Tall. Charming. Has 20/20 vision. And would never, ever wipe his mouth after a girl kisses him.

Braeden insists on getting to know Jeff. Jeff vacillates between wanting to know him and wanting to punch him in the mouth. Then he discovers the darkness rippling beneath Braeden’s deceptively easy-going persona. As Braeden confides his secrets, Jeff does the one thing that’s socially suicidal:

He falls in love with the very popular, very straight Braeden Britely.
