The Boy and Girl Who Broke the World - by Amy Reed

The Astonishing Color of After is a breathtakingly beautiful story about an unlikely friendship between two teens that will shake the earth around them or at the very least make them face some painful truths about the nature of what drives us apart...and what brings us together.

Billy Sloat and Lydia Lemon, both growing up on the wrong side of the tracks, find themselves thrust together despite their differences, with Billy's sincere optimism met with Lydia's cynicism.

As they grow closer, they must confront bigger truths about their pasts, all while dealing with inconveniences like a narcissistic rock star, a war between unicorns and dragons, and eventually, of course, the apocalypse.

With a unique mix of raw emotion, humor, and heart, this surreal plotline pulls readers through an epic exploration of how caring for others makes us vulnerable--and how utterly pointless life would be if we didn't.

Don't miss out on this unforgettable journey of self-discovery and friendship that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about the world around you.
