Thank you NetGalley for this eARC in exchange for my honest review.

The Hope Juvenile Treatment Center is "home" for misunderstood teenage delinquents. When all of the supervisors and guards disappear one day, the teens are suspicious. A few leave the center to try to find out what happened and discover that there's been a world wide pandemic. People are getting sick and dying. Everyone is on lockdown and quarantined. After a violent confrontation with the military, half the teens led by Hunter, the center's top bad boy, leave the center and the other half stay with Grace, who has anger issues but is strong enough to take charge for those who stay. The teens at Hope build a community and take care of one another in such a hard and confusing time. There are a lot of character development and I love that this book is written in multiple POV's. I think the pandemic story line definitely hits close to our new way of life. At the End of Everything is an addictive and sad book. Nijkamp provoked a mixture of unsettling feelings as I read and I loved it.
