The Way the World Ends by Jess Walter
4.0
hopeful informative reflective fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

This isn’t quite what the blurb sets you up to expect, and that works out as a good thing. The characters reasons for existing makes sense and doesn’t feel contrived. It does read a little like a screenplay at points, but I don’t read many short stories currently so maybe this is how it has to be to get it all done in less than 50 pages.
