Absolutely incredible. American Rapture is a metaphor for human survival and a lesson on living your life on your terms while you have it. If the world was ending, would you like how you spent your life so far? Would you like how you're spending it now? And the themes of faith and control were *chef's kiss*. Leede makes you feel at home, rips your heart out, and puts it back together all at once with an ending full of hope. Hands down one of the best books I've read this year, and I can't wait to have it in my hands in October.
