Some of these kids have significant difficulties in their lives, though, even if you ignore the whole 70 mile wide asteroid that’s going to obliterate them in the very near future thing.Mae, what to say about her? Sarcasm and dark humour hide a multitude of hurts. But boy, is she strong! The way she takes care of her sister and her grandmother, who isn’t quite all there. Some might say what Mae does is wrong, even if she does it so her family can survive. All I know is that once again these characters are as memorable as Duchess and Manny. And if you don’t know who they are, I promise you you are missing out on extraordinary novels! The only thing that made this book a 2-star read and not 1-star is the idea and the main character. I was really excited to start this book because I loved the idea of “the world ends in 30 days, what do we do?”. And the main character was really interesting and I liked her. But that’s all the good that I can think of. Time finally has run out for 'The Forever Purge' ". July 1, 2021. Archived from the original on July 2, 2021 . Retrieved July 5, 2021.

I couldn’t help but wonder why any of it mattered since everyone and everything would be gone in a month’s time.That’s the thing, isn’t it? What would you do, if you knew you had only one month left? What would you do, if you realised your actions would not have any consequences anymore? If you could get away with anything, what would you do? I must admit that ‘The Forevers‘ turned out to be far more thought-provoking than I bargained for.

Ten years ago, scientists predicted an asteroid was on its way to Earth with devastating consequences. Throughout the years, various attempts were made to divert it from its path but to no avail. Selena, for that is its name, is coming. Time is up. There is only one month left. What would you do?This is not an easy read. It is often quite uncomfortable. More than that, it definitely has the potential to depress the shit out of you. It probably would have, had it not been for the absolute marvel that is Felix. The comic relief, most of the time utterly unwillingly, is just one of those characters you will always be absolutely grateful for. Yet, Felix has problems like everyone else. And they do not only revolve around the fact that he doesn’t want to die a virgin.

The main thing that let the book down was that there were various scenes, with various characters, some of which were very engaging and well described, but it was SO disjointed. The book would jump from one scene to another and I would be lost entirely, trying to work out the point at which the characters had got from scene A to scene B with no preamble. New characters would appear and indicate that Mae, Felix or another lead character was now in fact somewhere else but that would be our only clue. Whilst I really loved the premise, I definitely found the writing style confusing. It jumped around a lot and at times even felt like things were missing. There were some things I guess weren't answered to my liking and some things were left up in the air. It all did semi tie together in the end, but a lot was left. Maybe that was the intention, but it bothered me.Mae is tough as nails, delightfully sarcastic and does not care about what others think. The people she does care for, she does fiercely and deeply. She feels like the calm before the storm. A person you would want in your corner when the going gets tough.

Sometimes it took me a while to figure out which character was in a scene with Mae, especially when they’d only be referred to as ‘he’ for several paragraphs before they were named. Some scene changes felt jarring and for a while around the middle of the book I wasn’t even sure if I was enjoying it.Mae as a character was likeable but the rest of the characters weren't. The school, the forevers, the community were a messed up ball of intricate effed-up-ness. Added into this was the fact that the writing was really confusing at times. I was jarred when unnamed characters entered scenes and I never knew who that person was and so the plot point was lost. There were also occasions where I felt like a small chunk of narrative was missing, so again, I was confused. All that said, I was able to string the story together but it was a push to keep going with the aid of some skimming.
