At the End of Everything - by Marieke Nijkamp

Book Synopsis

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of This Is Where It Ends comes another heartbreaking, emotional and timely page-turner that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

The Hope Juvenile Treatment Center is ironically named. No one has hope for the delinquent teenagers who have been exiled there; the world barely acknowledges that they exist.

Then the guards at Hope start acting strange. And one day...they don't show up. But when the teens band together to make a break from the facility, they encounter soldiers outside the gates. There's a rapidly spreading infectious disease outside, and no one can leave their houses or travel without a permit. Which means that they're stuck at Hope. And this time, no one is watching out for them at all.

As supplies quickly dwindle and a deadly plague tears through their ranks, the group has to decide whom among them they can trust and figure out how they can survive in a world that has never wanted them in the first place.

Review Quotes

At the End of Everything is a beautifully rendered, propulsive survival story that speaks to how quickly and irrevocably the world can change--and who those in power choose to leave behind. Taut and tense and truly moving, this gripped me from the opening shocks to the last perfect words. - Nova Ren Suma, bestselling author of The Walls Around Us

Thrilling, raw, and unforgettable. A story about humanity, resilience, and hope. I couldn't put this book down. The story felt so real! Nijkamp at their best! - Kami Garcia, #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of Beautiful Creatures
