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.

OMG. I can't remember the last time I stayed up until 3AM reading... what are responsibilities? Don't have them! All I could think about was this book, and now that it's over, I still can't stop. I'M OBSESSED. A stalker triangle!? How refreshing for a Lifetime-esque thriller! And that ending... will there be a sequel!? It could go either way, and both ways I'd be more than happy. All I want is for Meredith to be happy, and as it stands, she is. If this doesn't win best thriller of 2024, I'm going to be shocked.
