Candace is in the middle of three big breakups: with her boyfriend, her job, and the world in general. While her relationship deteriorated, she experiences a love-hate relationship with her job as a production manager for a specialty publisher (Candace is on the Bible beat), and Shen fever is dissolving society as it spreads insidiously around the globe. Candace makes you care about one random millennial facing the end of the world in a quiet and pragmatic way: instead of the typical apocalyptic terror, a sense of quiet dread surrounds the narrative and takes hold as the reader follows her on an uncertain journey towards her future.
