I've been an atheist since my early 20s but I spent my childhood in a Pentecostal household terrified that the Rapture would happen at any second (but most likely when I was home alone). This is basically a YA novel about a religion based on America and capitalism and what happens after the Rapture occurs, and I thought it was delightful. It was fun, sarcastic, interesting, and full of swears with a standard YA love story weaved in. (Side note: can this whole “HE makes me brave” BS in YA novels just be done now? YOU make yourself brave, ladies! Even if it is nice to have someone at your side when you do it.)

Will I be reading the next book in the series even with all the YA cheesiness? Yes, yes I will.
