Book Review: Be Here to Love Me at the End of the World by Sasha Fletcher

Be Here to Love Me at the End of the World // Sasha Fletcher

I just want to know how tomorrow is going to be any different if we still can’t agree on what happened yesterday over three hundred years later. You know?

Good night! Sleep tight! Beware the secret police! I love you with all my heart!

Horrific and hilarious and horrifically hilarious Be Here to Love Me at the End of the World is quite possibly the weirdest book I’ve ever read, and you all know I love a weird book.

Sam and Eleanor are two people just trying to live and love as the world falls to pieces around them. Affirmingly realistic, reassuringly absurd, and also dappled with accurate U.S. history (plot twist?)

Author Sasha Fletcher has a background in poetry and it shows. The darkly ludicrous humor of the omniscient narrator speaks to me.

This bizarre story is somehow just what I needed at this moment in time.
