Book Review: Until The World Ends by Jolene Gettler

 Until The World Ends by Jolene Gettler

I adored this book. The author has been a mutual on TikTok for a while, and the more I heard about this book, the more excited I was to read it. I’m not usually one for romance, or rom-com, but this one was different. I loved everything about it from the characters to the setting.

As a long-time fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I really enjoyed the way the people were just resigned to things like vampires, tentacle monsters and f*cking Larry! That everyone carried a bag of monster fighting kit with them wherever they went, including gas masks, UV flashlights and holy water.

The office romance was fun, believable and hilarious at times. The characters were delightfully flawed and their interactions with each other were highly entertaining. Cute, funny and a bit dark, which is absolutely my jam. I’m someone with a dark and irreverent sense of humour, so it resonated well with me.

I read this book during a stressful period, when I was packing to move and dealing with all sorts of annoying health stuff, and it was exactly what I needed in that time. I’d been reading and writing a lot of heavy emotional stuff and was looking for something a bit lighter and more fun. Until The World Ends was just what I needed.

The audiobook has just come out, so whatever way you prefer to read awesome books, you now can. I cannot recommend this book enough. It’s worth your time. Here's the Amazon link (not affiliated!).
