Zero Stars, Do Not Recommend is a riotously funny debut from MJ Wassmer. In short it's the story of a couple that goes on a resort vacation and then on the first page of the book, the sun explodes. And we all know humankind and the earth cannot go on like that!

So with a literal bang, the surprises and problems start. The couple has a lot to sort out, and wouldn't you know it the world ending pushes those issues to the forefront. There are also lots of (hilarious) characters at the resort that create a Lord of the Flies type situation, and I couldn't look away from the Bible thumping MLM lady who tries to run the show. 

If you need a palate cleanser and a laugh, this is such a fun book. The voice acting on the audiobook was incredible, truly top notch; I was laughing out loud. So if you've got a little bit of summer left in you, forget the usual vacation read and give this a go!
