A Beginning at the End

A Beginning at the End is a post-apocalyptic novel primarily set in San Francisco in 2025, approximately six years after about five billion people died in a worldwide pandemic. It's a story of found family that follows three characters: Rob, a widowed single father who fears the Family Stability Board may take away his daughter; Moira, a former teenage pop star who ran from that life and the father who forced her to live it the first chance she got; and Krista, a wedding/event planner who firmly believes in getting over things and moving forward. There are also occasional brief chapters focusing on Sunny, Rob's seven-year-old daughter.

Though I was mildly curious about where it was going at first, I probably would have ended up leaving it unfinished if it wasn't a fairly short, quick read. I found it to be too plainly written with too little world and character depth for my personal taste, but it may appeal more to those looking for an effortlessly readable, hopeful book revolving around found family.
