Length: 11 hrs and 41 mins

Publisher's summary

From the critically acclaimed author of The List comes a stunning new novel about a girl who must say good-bye to everything she knows after a storm wreaks havoc on her hometown.

What if your town was sliding underwater, and everyone was ordered to pack up and leave? How would you and your friends spend your last days together?

While the adults plan for the future, box up their possessions, and find new places to live, Keeley Hewitt and her friends decide to go out with a bang. There are parties in abandoned houses. Canoe races down Main Street. The goal is to make the most of every minute they still have together. And for Keeley that means taking one last shot at the boy she's loved forever.

There's a weird sort of bravery that comes from knowing there's nothing left to lose. You might do things you normally wouldn't. Or say things you shouldn't. The reward almost always outweighs the risk.

Almost. It's the end of Aberdeen but the beginning of Keeley's first love story. It just might not turn out the way she thought. Because it's not always clear what's worth fighting for and what you should let become a memory.

I felt so much for these kids

I haven't genuinely felt so much for fictional teenagers since I was one. I loved this book so much. I love that it made me want to smile, and cry, and hug someone.

Nothing I expected and everything it needed to be.

Amazing story. Narrator put an amazing voice behind it. I wouldn’t change a thing. Kept me listing and rooting the whole time.

The nasal voice is not good!

This was a good book. But the narrator badly needed a tissue the entire time which was really distracting. I think she has potential because she has a pleasant tone but the nasal voice has got to go!

Skip this but read the review first

First of all I am going to say that the narrator of the book sounds like she has a stuffed up nose for the first half of the book. The book also gave me anxiety almost the whole time because of all the dumb decisions that Keely made. I also don’t like that the book all came together at the end all at once instead of slowly. I hated the end. If you are insanely bored and want a book to listen to read this but if you have other options then go with those. Thank you for reading the review and have a great day. :)

The Last Boy and Girl in the World

I loved Stay Sweet by Siobhan Vivian and wanted to give her other books a try. The Last Boy and Girl in the World was pretty interesting.

Long and drawn out

Definitely a teen book - being an adult it was a little young for me. Good narration

Not a good story

I wouldn’t recommend it. It reminded me the whole time of that part in Ricky and Morty when that old guy from Purge planet writes a book, “three weeks earlier,” we should start the story where it begins not where it gets “interesting”.

You know the town isn’t going to make it. You know Levi is going to be the love interest and you
Know that her friends are going to ditch her. There is no surprises. It’s just a bad story. The lady that read the story did great tho.

Tragic teen love

The voice remind me of the Hank Green novels An Absolutely remarkable thing but less theatrical. The story is cute, takes your back to high school dances and love stories, I enjoyed the development

what a book!

i was skeptical about this book. Scared that it would be too YA and that it would irritate me like many YA books do. But boy was I wrong. I felt all the emotions with the characters and I was
completely drawn in by the story. I COULD NOT STOP LISTENING! The way it was written was so amazingly realistic and relatable. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Narrator ruin this book for me

I couldn’t get past the voice of the narrator. She sounded like she had a stuffed up nose. I’ll head over to my local library & just read this book the old fashioned way
