I was kindly send a free copy of this book as part of the Good Reads Giveaway.
I'd say it's more of a 4.5/5 stars. Mainly because I have a few unanswered questions/things I would have liked to see more of. For example(without spoilers): Church of America and Edie (Umaymah).
But overall I really enjoyed this book. Vivian is an awesome, badass character. I loved Vivian and Peters relationship. It wasn't over bearing or in your face like a lot of books seem to do in these kind of genres lately. Fast paced and always urged you to carry on reading.

This book picks up exactly where the first one ended. It's a good book, strong female lead, but it does get sloppy at the end. The language is a bit strong for me, as this is a YA selection, but otherwise a decent read.
"just because we're not as loud doesn't mean that we're alone."
I love Vivian Apple. Completely selfless and reckless, she and Harp are off again to try to figure out what's going on with the Church of America, the rapture and what has happened to Peter.
I love that this idea - this new church and rapture - feels new. It has a twist I haven't read before. I also love the humor. There's a serious part where Harp is explaining to Vivian what happened and Harp says something so funny she has to stop telling the story and laugh. AND so did I. It was hilarious. I like that all the doom and gloom is mixed with humor.
What a fun 2 books. I'm sad to leave them.

Vivian Apple Needs A Miracle is one of those books that lights a fire in you to be vicious towards those who are corrupt. Vivian Apple Needs a Miracle is also one of the most terrifying apocalyptic books I have read not because of gore but because I see a lot of actual America in this novel. The fear and blindness the civilian population comes to frightens me because I can see it happening today. With the less than comforting elections approaching I can see the Vivian Apple series turning into an all too realistic instruction manual on how our country will unfold.
I mean, there's no better time to read the Vivian Versus-books than now, as Trump is rallying for president in the US.

I didn’t like it as much as the first in the series. It still has humor and plot twists, but it also relies heavily on luck and coincidence. The characters accomplish difficult things way too easily. Also, the characters barely react to the death at the end of the book. Someone died, and the characters are doing cartwheels on the lawn?
